Description

The 'Moscato Monregalese' Vine is an ancient, traditional, and regional variety, typical of the Lower Piedmont in Italy. It produces scattered and compact clusters, with a cylindrical-conical shape and medium size. The slightly fleshy berry is oval, medium to large in size and white to white-green with a musky and sweet flavour. The harvest takes place from mid-September. It is a table and wine grape, with good storage capacity, for direct consumption or winemaking. The plant is moderately vigorous and productive, and it has a decent resistance to diseases.

The wine grape vine (Vitis vinifera) grew wild over 5000 years ago. Many hybrids were created to vary colours, flavours, and uses. 'Moscato Monregalese' is a local grape variety, typical of the Lower Piedmont in northern Italy. It is a highly aromatic and versatile grape, used to produce wines in all possible styles, from still dry wines to sparkling wines.

The 'Moscato Monregalese' vine is a medium-vigour climber that easily reaches a height or spread of 4-5 m if not pruned. Its final shape will depend on the pruning practised. It is a frugal sun-loving, undemanding plant that thrives in clayey and stony soil, with a tendency towards limestone, and it withstands dry summers well. Its long stems cling to their support (trellis, espalier...) through large green and twining tendrils. Its deep-green foliage with serrated edges turns the most beautiful gold in autumn. It flowers in May-June depending on the year and region, with tiny greenish flowers gathered in short and compact pyramidal and cylindrical clusters. Its oval, medium to large grapes, are more or less tightly packed on rather elongated cylindrical clusters. Their fairly thick, white-green skin, encloses firm, juicy, very sweet flesh, with a pleasant muscat aroma.

The 'Moscato Monregalese' grape can be consumed fresh or used for winemaking. You can also use it to cover a pergola or a trellis or train it against a sunny wall.

Planting and care

Since the ravages of phylloxera at the end of the 19th century, the vine is grafted onto different rootstocks resistant to this disease and adapted to different types of soil. These rootstocks come from American varieties naturally armed against this formidable parasite, itself of American origin. Plant the 'Moscato Monregalese' Vine in autumn, in deep, well-drained, even stony, clayey and limestone soil, in a well-exposed position, sheltered from strong winds. Incorporate 3 or 4 handfuls of fertiliser for fruit trees and 2 kg of composted manure into the planting soil for each vine-plant. The roots should not be in contact with the manure. After planting, prune above 2 large buds (buds) to obtain two branches. Keep the most vigorous one, and tie it to a stake. The training pruning instructions will follow below. The Moscato Monregalese Vine is comfortable in limestone soils and in a Mediterranean climate. It is sensitive to cryptogamic diseases and will require regular treatments, especially in rainy regions.

The vine does not require regular fertiliser application, for good yield, on the contrary. Enrich the soil with potash, crushed horn or iron chelate, only every 2-3 years.

Care

Pruning instructions Training pruning: the vertical cord is the simplest, to cover a building or a high wall. Keep a vertical main stem on which spaced secondary branches will be grown every 20 cm. Extend the cord by a height of 50 to 60 cm each year. To obtain a bilateral cord (with two arms), select two opposite buds that can be individually trained into a cord. Fruiting pruning: the vine flowers on the shoots of the year, carried by the branches of the previous year. For abundant fruiting, it is necessary to renew the canes every year. Pruning in green is recommended in May-June, in the form of bud removal.
Pruning Pruning recommended once a year
