About this wine
Named in tribute to Adriano's grandmother Maddalena and her favorite style of wine, this Moscato d'Asti is a sweet, gently sparkling jewel of Piedmont. Straw-yellow with golden hues, it offers aromas of sage flowers, lemon, and peach, produced by soft-pressing Moscato grapes and halting fermentation early to retain natural sweetness and low alcohol.
Low in alcohol and gently sweet — an easy, delightful introduction to Piedmont's aromatic white wines.
Sommelier's Note
"Maddalena carries a grandmother's favorite style into the glass — low alcohol, delicately sweet, and utterly charming without a trace of heaviness."
Food Pairings

When to drink it
Aperitivo hour, dessert pairing, and celebratory toasts for those who prefer a lighter sparkling wine.

バザリン
Basarin
RedNebbiolo
Barbaresco Basarin is Adriano Marco e Vittorio's flagship single-vineyard Nebbiolo, grown on the Basarin cru in San Rocco Seno d'Elvio near Alba. Fermented and macerated with traditional Piedmontese methods, it is aged around 12 months in large Slavonian oak barrels (30-50 hl) followed by further bottle refinement before release, giving a wine of violet and rose aromatics, licorice and spice, with dry, aristocratic tannins that reward patient cellaring.

Basarin Riserva
RedNebbiolo
The Riserva bottling of Basarin is held back for extended aging under Barbaresco DOCG Riserva rules, giving a deeper, more concentrated expression of the cru. Expect strawberry compote, plump dark cherry and baking spice on the nose, and a juicy, warmly structured palate with the extra time in cask and bottle bringing added complexity and softness to the tannins.
サナダイヴェ
Sanadaive
RedNebbiolo
Sanadaive is Adriano Marco e Vittorio's second single-vineyard Barbaresco, sourced from the Sanadaive plot in San Rocco Seno d'Elvio. Aged around a year in medium-sized oak casks (35-50 hl), it tends to show a lighter, more perfumed profile than Basarin, with dried rose, spice, and a touch of smoked meat on the nose, framed by firm, refined tannins.
アルド
Aldo
RedDolcetto
Named after family patriarch Aldo Adriano, this Dolcetto d'Alba is a fresh, fruit-forward red matured exclusively in stainless steel to preserve its vibrant character. It shows cherry, plum, and black cherry aromas with hints of violet and light spice, finishing soft and easy-drinking with gentle tannins.
トイウ
Tòiu
RedBarbera
Tòiu is Adriano Marco e Vittorio's Barbera d'Alba Superiore, a deep ruby red with aromas of ripe black cherry, plum, and wild berries layered with spice, cocoa, and a gentle touch of oak. Vibrant acidity balances the generous fruit, with fine tannins carrying through to a long, savory finish.
カイナッサ
Cainassa
RedNebbiolo
Cainassa is Adriano Marco e Vittorio's Langhe Nebbiolo, an approachable expression of the variety refined in steel rather than oak. It offers delicate floral fragrance — dried violet and red fruit — with a graceful, food-friendly palate, fresh acidity, and velvety tannins.
