Stefano Farina??

[TSB1]

I am sure someone out there may be able to help me..I HOPE! Not too long ago and far far away, there was a wine produced by Stefano Farina. That's all I know about it information wise. However, I loved the wine and found out that at about the same time I became interested in the particular label. The producer dropped the name and has since converted the wine to another name/label. Is there anyone out there who might be familiar with this wonderful tasting wine that could lead me back to it with it's newer name?? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

If Stefano Farina changed their name, it's been in the past few months. I've seen 1999 Barolo and Barbaresco, as well as a 2000 Gavi from Farina just recently released. Who told you they've changed their name?

Actually a dealer in my area informed the that I believe it was a Moscatto?? Forgive my spelling, was dropped back several years ago and underwent a name change. To further the adventure, it was a red wine and very sweet to the taste. Not being a huge wine fan, though I am working on it!..lol. I have tried to find this particular wine for some time now and no one seems to have a clue. I have tried a few "like" brands", but with no luck have I encountered the same taste I am searching for that was produced by Stefano Farina. Is it possible I have described this wine wrong to the dealer? I have a bottle opener that was purchased along with the very same bottle I am searching for and it has a marking of Barolo on it. However at the time of purchase the dealer informed me that it was a "moscato" if I remember correctly. This has been 5 years plus ago when this occured so I know I appear to be rambling and I apologize. However this is important to a certain degree because I was hoping to find the same wine for my anniversary. If any of this helps, I would greatly appreciate it.

Hi TSB1, and welcome to the Wine Board. The Stefano Farino Moscato D'Asti is a sweet white sparkling wine that sells for around $10.
