Piedmont Italy
A few weeks ago, we spoke with Andrea Costa of Marenco Vini. We learned of his family winery in Strevi, a southern province of Piedmont, Italy. This is where Moscato di Asti shines. Andrea is the fourth generation to be involved in his family winery , located in the Monferatto region. Costa’s mother and two aunts are also still active in the day-to-day operations.

In this episode, Andrea takes us through a tasting of his prized Moscato and Brachetto wines, which include:
2014 Pineto, Brachetto D’Acqui
2015 Strev, Moscato D’Asti, DOCG
