Moscatel de Grano Pequeno

Synonym for the grape variety Muscat Blanc; see there.

The white grape variety probably originates from Italy or Greece, or more broadly speaking "from the Mediterranean region". It is the noblest, but not the most common variety in the large group of Muscat (see general information there). The name Muscat Blanc is most commonly used worldwide, the full name after the berry shape is Muscat Blanc à Petits Grains Ronds (Petits Grains Ronds = small round berries).
