Among the finest Premier Cru Classe Sauternes, with an exceptionally high Semillon content (up to 100% in some vintages) that delivers an unusually pure, concentrated expression of noble rot.

One of Italy's greatest botrytised dessert wines. Acininobili (noble berries) is produced from 100% botrytis-affected Vespaiola grapes, selected berry by berry in the best vintages.
