« Nobody in Italy is more talented at getting the most from Moscato Giallo [or to be precise, a specific biotype/distinct variety (it’s not clear yet which it is) called Moscato Giallo Fleur d’Oranger] than Elisa Dilavanzo of the Maeli estate. In fact, very few estates anywhere in Italy are so one-variety dependent, as this winery located in the Veneto’s volcanic Colli Euganei but when you are this good at what you do, why rock the boat? You can choose any of her Moscato Giallo wines, from the still version (), the air-dried Passito sweet version, to the Pet-Nat, to the sparkling wine version, and you will never come away disappointed. »

Excellent price/quality ratio!
