More About Cerruti Sol Passito 2017

A simply remarkable passito that ranks as one of Italy’s best. When Ezio’s Moscato grapes are fully ripe, he cuts the shoot connecting the bunches to the vine, leaving the fruit to wither, dangling in the autumn sunshine for a couple of months. The grapes are then pressed immediately and transferred to old barrels, where they rest for four years. Ezio’s patience in both the vineyard and cellar yields a wine of unusual complexity. From a cooler year, this is incredibly energetic, with pristine fruit tempered by vibrant acidity, saltiness, and spice.  

Ezio Cerruti has six hectares of vines surrounding his home in the commune of Castiglione Tinella, about halfway between Asti and the Langhe. He is one of the kindest, gentlest people, a man happiest growing grapes, making wine, and doing things the right way. Principally working with just one grape, Moscato, he loves to show it in every possible guise.  

The vines, up to seventy-five years old, are planted on steep limestone slopes around four hundred meters above sea level. Unusually for the area, he has farmed organically from the outset, with trees and wildflowers growing between the rows, offering encouragement in a region where conventional farming and monoculture are the norm.  

In the cantina, he exercises a gentle touch and, in the case of his remarkable passito, Sol, great patience. Whether sparkling or still, dry or sweet, every bottle from Ezio offers an uplifting wine of real harmony, where fruit, flowers, salt, and spice intertwine.

Meet the Producer, Cerruti

Cerruti

Style: Winery

Cerruti sits firmly in the wonderfully rolling hills of Piedmont, where wine, hazelnuts and very strong opinions about food all seem to coexist naturally. The winery focuses heavily on Moscato and other classic local varieties, producing wines that capture the softer, more fragrant side of northern Italian winemaking without disappearing into sugary chaos.

Piedmont often gets most famous for its huge, serious Nebbiolo wines like Barolo and Barbaresco, but the region’s lighter aromatic wines are equally woven into local culture. Cerruti leans into that tradition beautifully, especially through Moscato-based wines that balance floral sweetness with freshness and delicacy rather than feeling heavy or sticky.

What makes these styles so enjoyable is the sheer drinkability. Peach, apricot, citrus blossom and soft grape aromas all tumble out of the glass, usually alongside a gentle sparkle that makes everything feel slightly more cheerful immediately. Proper dessert wine energy without requiring a nap afterwards.

There’s also something very traditionally Italian about wineries like Cerruti. The wines feel built for gatherings, pastries, fruit desserts and long family lunches where multiple generations argue loudly over absolutely everything except whether the wine is good.

Importantly, Moscato done properly is far more sophisticated than many people expect. Beneath all the fruit and perfume there’s often lovely freshness and balance keeping everything lively rather than cloying.

Basically, joyful wine for joyful situations. Italy remains annoyingly good at this.
