Mauro Vergano Chinato

Mauro Vergano is a retired chemist who started producing Chinato only recently. More specifically, he started producing these wines as a hobby in the late 1970s, and produced his first commerical products in 2003.

Technically, his Chinato is a Barbaresco Chinato since he uses wine from the famed Rabajà Vineyard produced by Giuseppe Cortese's winery in Barbaresco. However, there is no official designation of Barbaresco Chinato, so it is just called Chinato.

Most recently, Vergano has begun producing a Vermouth using a blend of dry Moscato grapes and Cortese, a white grape of Piedmont best known for Cortese di Gavi.
