All Vergano products are made by the same process in very small quantities in the Vergano lab in the city of Asti. A botanical extract (concia) is made by macerating carefully sourced herbs, flowers, fruits and spices in a neutral, beet-sugar-based spirit for 20 to 30 days in 30-liter, stainless-...

100% Muscat à Petits Grains. Canelli is the historic cradle of Moscato d'Asti production and Bera lies in the heart of Canelli. The Bera family was the first to estate-bottle Moscato d'Asti, starting in 1964. As of recently, the highest classification for this overcommercialized category of wine is...

From a 0.6-hectare parcel in Monforte (Perno), planted in 1998 with western exposure at 390m above sea level. The grapes were destemmed and crushed; fermentation occurred spontaneously in cement vats, with maceration lasting around 20 days with pumpovers.

Broglio is Schiavenza's largest cru holding, with 1.5ha owned here.  The vineyard is located at 360 meters above sea level with a south-east exposure.  Due to a bit more clay in the topsoil, Broglio is also the most productive site in the Schiavenza range.  To achieve balance and to let the...

2019 was the debut of Barolo Perno, from the Santo Stefano di Perno sub-section, facing east, with Arenarie di Diano d'Alba sandstones, more sandy than Schiavenza's Serralunga plots. This makes for a somewhat more lithe Barolo. A rare chance to taste a Barolo at 13.5% without losing typicity!
