Dindarello is Maculan's late-harvest Moscato, a lighter and more delicate counterpart to the intense Torcolato and Acininobili. From small Moscato (Muscat blanc a petits grains) grapes left on the vine to develop extra ripeness, it captures the variety's natural floral sweetness without botrytis intervention.

Italy's most celebrated passito-style dessert wine from Vicenza. Vespaiola grapes are harvested late and dried on twisted cords (torcolato means 'twisted') for months before pressing. The result is a wine of remarkable intensity, with botrytis-influenced apricot honey character balanced by the grape's naturally high acidity.

Miele (honey) is Monte Tondo's Recioto di Soave DOCG, a rare sweet wine from appassimento-dried Garganega grapes. Recioto di Soave predates Soave's dry style and is considered the original historic wine of the Soave hills. Monte Tondo's version captures honey, dried apricot and candied citrus balanced by the grape's naturally high acidity.

I Capitelli is Anselmi's late-harvest sweet Garganega, made from overripe and botrytised bunches from the Capitel Croce and Capitel Foscarino hills; rich, honeyed and apricot-dominated but lifted by the grape's natural acidity that keeps it from cloying.

The defining wine of the Colli Euganei Fior d'Arancio DOCG, Italy's most aromatic dessert wine appellation. Moscato Giallo grapes are dried (passito) on bamboo racks in the volcanic Euganean Hills; the intensely floral and orange-scented result is unlike any other Italian sweet wine.
