Is Moscato Wine Gluten-Free?

An empty wine glass lying next to a wine bottle and white (green) grapes.Yes, Moscato wine is naturally gluten-free.

What is Moscato?

Moscato wine (sometimes called Muscat wine) is made from the Muscat grape and dates back to the 14th century. Historically, it was used as a palate cleanser, and today it is usually considered a dessert wine because of its sweet, fruity flavors. All Moscatos tend to pair well with very flavorful and spice-heavy foods.

There are sparkling and non-sparkling Moscatos. Most Moscatos are white wines, but there is also a rosé variety, which is usually just Moscato with a bit of Merlot added to give it that characteristic pink color. If you try a rosé Moscato, verify that the added flavor is a wine and not another alcohol or food coloring.

Additives and Cross-Contact

Wine is naturally gluten-free, but wines with extra flavorings or additives may not be gluten-free. If you have celiac disease, stick to pure, undiluted wines. For more information on wine production, visit our main page Is Wine Gluten-Free?
