Val di Luna stands for excellent quality wines from the heart of Piedmont, the traditional wine growing region of Monferrato. When it comes to production, V.D.L. make only 3,000 bottles of each wine per year. It’s not about quantity, but about class. Luigi Carlini, V.D.L. producer, wanted to make his grandfather Antonio’s dream come true: produce wines that are honest yet complex.
