Since ancient times, Muscat Blanc is loved by all cultures and people who come across this treasure of the wine world. You need only look at the many names the varietal has accumulated to see the evidence of the world’s enamourment: Moscato bianco (Italy), Muscat blanc (Italy), Muscat Canelli (Italy), Muscat Blanc à Petits Grains (France), Muscat de Beaumes de Venise (France), Muscat de Frontignan (France), Muscat de Lunel (France), Muscat d’Alsace (France), Tamjanika (Macedonia and Serbia), Gelber Muskateller (Austria and Germany), Moscatel de Grano Menudo (Spain), Moscatel Castellano (Spain), Moscatel Commun (Spain), Moscatel de Frontignan (Spain), Moscatel de Grano Pequeño (Spain), Moscatel Fino (Spain), Moscatel Morisco (Spain), and Moscatell Gra Menut in Catalan (Spain).
Muscat Blanc is one the most aromatic and ancient grapes varietals that exist. Its extremely-recognizable aroma of perfumey grape musk has been used in all manners of wines from the modern sparklers of Asti and dry whites of Alsace to the sweet wines of ancient Greece and Constancia. Muscat Canelli is also used in a number of Italian vermouths and French Vin du Naturel wines. Its unmistakable aroma is known the world over. Found throughout the Mediterranean and revered for its heavy perfume that attracts bees and flies, possibly explaining the name (Musca is latin for 'flies').
The Eastern part of Contra Costa County is well known for extremely sandy and deep soils. Viticulture has been an important part of the area’s history since the Spanish Missionary days and the region is experiencing a resurgence due to efforts of winemakers like Ridge, Bedrock, and Cline Cellars.
The Cecchini Ranch was planted to Muscat Canelli in 2001 and is farmed with a strong emphasis on organic practices, soil building, livestock integration, and minimal intervention. The vineyard ground is chemical free, irrigation is used as little as possible, and biodiversity is maintained and supported. The vineyard shares the property with First Generation Farmers, an organic community farm and farm education campus that teaches and demonstrates the highest standards of organic farming in the United States.
