Chinati Vergano
Luli

Ezio Cerruti
Sol 2016

Sweet, passito-style wine made with the old-fashioned, labour-of-love method: Moscato grapes have their shoots cut and are left on the vine to dry out and create very high natural sugar levels before being pressed and fermented. This nectar is an absolute must for fans of Moscato d'Asti. Find out more.
