Taste and well-being

The Italia variety, also known as the true Muscat, is a table grape variety appreciated for its large, golden, and crunchy berries, with a sweet flavor and a delicate muscat aroma. It is rich in vitamins (especially A, C, and some of the B group), mineral salts (like potassium and phosphorus), and natural sugars, which provide the body with immediately available energy. Thanks to these components, it performs a toning and remineralizing action, contributing to general well-being.

Its high content of antioxidants (particularly polyphenols and flavonoids) helps protect cells from oxidative damage, supporting the cardiovascular system and metabolic balance. Furthermore, its versatility in the kitchen makes it excellent both for fresh consumption and for enriching salads, cold dishes, fruit skewers, desserts, and rustic cakes, adapting perfectly to both sweet and savory pairings.
