In 1494, Giorgio from Challand offered to Charles VIII, king of France the Chambave Moscato Passito. This nectar has been produced in the “Chambave” vines since the ancient times . The best grapes of white Moscato that grow in this very small corner of the Aosta Valley are left to wither in well-aired environments and kept out of the sun.

When the precious grapes lose most of the water they bring out all their richness in sugar, they are vinified according to the traditional methods and the wine obtained is left to settle until Christmas of the year following the harvest, then it is commercialised.

The Chambave Moscato has an intense golden yellow colour, crystal-clear. Its smells are intense and persistent as a proof of the fragrance of this vine. In the extent of the floral and fruity smells we can recognise the acacia, the thyme, the sage, the withered viola, the yellow peach, the sweet almond and the honey.
The taste of this wine is sweet and soft, a stream of elegant sensations never sickly.

It is a great wine for meditation excellent with “tegole” (a local biscuit) but it can also be served with “fois gras” or spicy cheeses.
