Chambave Moscato Passito Prieuré
As several documents show, this nectar was produced since the most ancient times. In 1494, George of Challant gave Moscato Passito di Chambave to Charles VIII, King of France. The best clusters of white Muscat are left to dry in well-aired rooms. At the end of the withering process, the grapes are vinified in a traditional way. The wine obtained is left to settle until Christmas of the year following the grape harvest.
