The area in which Moscato di Terracina grows is in the southern coastal area of Lazio, particularly in the valleys of the Ausoni Mountains. The climate is Mediterranean, and vineyards are planted from sea level up to more than 800 meters with western exposure. Vineyards were already present in these areas in ancient Rome, but they declined as early as Pliny's time, and in the following centuries the areas were less and less cultivated partly because of deforestation and the formation of swamps. They were rehabilitated around 1930, with total recovery of the land and new development of vineyards.

Hum is the only Muscat to be dry and is made from grapes harvested at different times of ripening, cryomaceration and fermentation occur separately, then the wines are blended and aged. Moscato di Terracina is grown along the coast in the province of Latina, the proximity to the sea means that the vineyards grow on salt-rich soils and are subject to hot winds and sea breezes. It was once thought that this grape variety was related to Moscato Bianco and Moscato di Alessandria, but recent genetic studies have found that Moscato di Terracina has no connection to the other "Moscato" varieties.
