A survey intended to preserve the genetic diversity of the Muscats cultivated in Valais (Switzerland)was carried out in old vineyards. It came out that two distinct grapes are cultivated under the name Muscat, and their identity was established on the basis of ampelographic observations and DNA testing: 'Muscat Blanc à Petits Grains' and 'Moscato Giallo', an Italian grape also called in Valais 'Muscat du Pays', 'MuscatVert'or 'Muscat Italien'. Moreover, ampelographic observations of 196 old Muscat vine stocks from Valais showed a great phenotypical variability among the 'Muscat Blanc à Petits Grains' population.
