Moscato Gaillo

White wine grape · reported 2005–2025

Moscato Gaillo, or Moscato Giallo, meaning yellow Muscat, is an aromatic Italian Muscat variant used for perfumed, often lightly sweet white wine. California's record for it is recent and small: it first appears in 2005 and shows 154 acres logged for 2025, spread across just 5 counties, with 21 crop years of crush data behind it. It reads as a minor, regionally concentrated planting rather than an established statewide variety, likely used the same way other Muscats are grown, for floral, easy-drinking, lightly sweet white wines.

What is published

Counts describe what this atlas holds for Moscato Gaillo, not what California grows. A zero is a published answer: it means the source names the grape and reports nothing under it, or does not name it at all.
