In this delivery we are showcasing a few luxury properties with the unique touch of Italy. In working with clients from different parts of the world, we have found a preference for the warm and welcoming Italian style. Clients who have traveled throughout Italy are captured by its classical architecture and the attractive Old World European charm . But when we talk about the aroma and flavor of Italy, we have to talk about its wineries.
The majority of wineries in Italy are medium to small-scale producers. These wineries are usually family-owned and operated enterprises. We recently met a client who owns a winery in Italy and to our surprise, is bringing this exclusive wine to Costa Rica. Moscone is a very high quality wine producer from the Piemonte region. The wine-making tradition of Fratelli Moscone traces back to 1877. They own 18 hectares of vineyards in the most outstanding areas of Monforte d'Alba, five of which in the renowned Bussia cru. The peculiar exposure of the vineyards, typical of Monforte d'Alba, reaches the higher expression in the crus of property. Wine-making and fining are performed in two characteristic Langa farms, where tradition and innovation are firmly bounded.The exclusive balance of elegance and character of Moscone wines comes from both centuries of skilful wine-making techniques knowledge and the newest winery facilities. This is supported by the expertise of Dr. Donato Lanati, esteemed consultant, teacher of Oenological Technology at Turin University and founder of the distinguished research centre called "Enosis Meraviglia".

They are found only in the finest restaurants and five star hotels, but thanks to this article, you can buy it directly from their bodega in San Pedro or order the wine to be specially home delivered.
