Moscato di Sardegna
Wine · PDO · 377 municipalities
Established in 1981 across 377 Sardinian municipalities including Abbasanta, the Moscato di Sardegna DOC distinguishes itself through strict vinification limits. While the standard golden wine requires a high minimum of 14.0% alcohol by volume, the passito style demands that grapes dry on mats to reach at least 272 grams of sugar per liter without enrichment. Uniquely, if a sparkling spumante base must exceeds 13% natural alcohol, winemakers are forbidden from adding sweetening syrup for secondary fermentation, forcing reliance on native sugars alone. This strict rule safeguards localized sparkling sub-denominations like Tempio Pausania.
