Italy has been called "Oenotria", which means "land of wine". The grapes vines grow so easily that one begins to expect them to grow from the cracks in the pavement. Because Mosto Italiano’s parent company is situated in Italy, we have the ability to procure some of Italy’s finest grape varietals. These grapes are then transformed into grape juice and grape juice concentrate at our plant in Emilia Romagna and shipped directly to our facility in Boucherville, then used to produce our renowned Mosto Italiano sterile musts.
