Less known is the wine of the Albugnano DOC, based on Nebbiolo, with permitted additions of Freisa and/or Barbera. The Loazzolo DOC focuses on the Moscato Bianco grape variety, which gives a sweet wine obtained from late-harvest grapes or subjected to drying in the fruit cellars, possibly also with the intervention of noble rot (Botrytis cinerea), which give the wine an elegant golden yellow color and a beautiful brightness.
