Casa del Moscato: a new hub in the heart of Saracena

The historic centre of Saracena has inaugurated the Casa del Moscato, housed in the former Town Hall on Piazza Senatore. The opening took place during the twelfth Saracena Wine Festival and brought together residents, producers and local officials.

What the Casa del Moscato offers

• Storytelling and culture: displays and materials that explain the production history and cultural significance of Moscato di Saracena.
• Tastings: guided sessions and hospitality for wine lovers, sommeliers and restaurateurs (tastings by reservation).
• Training and exchanges: technical meetings and workshops to safeguard artisanal methods and encourage producer collaboration.
• Territory promotion: coordination for joint commercial initiatives and routes linking wine, art and landscape.

Why it matters for the village

The project aims to make Moscato di Saracena a driver for local development: the wine is presented as a synthesis of landscape, memory and family know-how. Ensuring the strategy’s sustainability requires translating quality into market value and wider recognition.

Production technique

Moscato di Saracena is produced through a traditional artisanal method that includes cooked must from Guarnaccia and Malvasia grapes, combined with Moscatello di Saracena and Doraca grapes that are dried and hand-selected. This craft process gives the wine distinctive aromas and characteristics that the Casa del Moscato seeks to protect and promote.

Activities and opportunities for visitors and professionals

• Themed guided tours and tastings by reservation.
• Training events and meetings for wine and tourism professionals.
• Enogastronomic routes connecting the village’s wine, art and landscapes.
