GUARANTEED BEST PROVENANCE: IMPORTED BY AIR FROM ITALY AND STOCKED IN CALIFORNIA Mauro Vergano is a cool dude who knows how to mix his herbs & alcohol. Right in the center of Asti, Mauro micro-produces some of the best Chinato and Vermouth aromatized wines you can find. His Luli (which means "that one" in the local Piemontese dialect) is a white Chinato built on a Moscato base, and it explodes on the palate with sweet ripe yellow fruits like pineapple, candied citron, jasmine, cinnamon, vanilla, and menthol. This is a real crowd pleaser.

Moscato chinato: floral and herbal and really lovely with the silky panna cotta and grape granita dessert @ Wildair. #chinato #moscato #dessertwine

Gorgeous heady aromatics vacillating between flowers, ginger, mulling spices and baking spices.

None of the charm of moscato. Tastes like OFF! Bug spray. Guess I'll stick to Barolo chinatos.

Fun! Interesting and drinkable. Unique but not my style. Like the way someone who likes peppermint gum wouldn't like cinnamint. It's horses for courses.

If you bred a Sauternes with an Amaro, this would be the babe.

I love this so much with ice, splash of soda and slice of lemon. Amazingly refreshing on a hot day. This is a very well made, complex drink, so it's kind of sinful to dilute it with ice and soda, almost like making a mimosa with Krug, but damnit, it tastes so good with ice and soda and lemon. This stuff smells and tastes great on its own and if it wasn't so expensive I'd probably drink it every day.
