About

"Perrone's Bigaro pretty much stands head and shoulders above its peers, which is very much the case in 2012. A blend of Moscato and Brachetto, the Bigaro is laced with rose petal, savory herbs, white flowers and a hint of citrus peel. Spice notes appear later as the wine continues to show off its tremendous personality and pedigree. Readers who can find the Bigaro should not hesitate. It is magnificent."

"When I want to drink Moscato, two names tower among the rest; Perrone and Saracco. This small estate in Castiglione Tinella excels with Moscatos that show what happens when great sites are farmed with a focus on quality. The Bigaro, a blend of Moscato and Brachetto, is just as delicious. Readers who want to discover what top-notch, estate-bottled Moscato is all about will want to check out Perrone. In top vintages, the Barberas are also terrific, but the sweet wines speak to the soul."
