Maculan
A month of grape-drying in Maculan's Breganze fruttaio gives Dindarello its honey and orange-blossom sweetness: 100% Moscato, unoaked, about 11.5% alcohol, fully sweet yet fresh. UK half bottles run from £16 across two live vintages.

Stock status is read from each retailer’s page several times a week and may lag. Case and magnum listings show a per-bottle or per-litre equivalent and sit outside the best-price figure.
Maculan dries hand-picked Moscato for a month at Breganze, ferments in steel and skips oak entirely. The result is spring-blossom freshness and chilled-grape sweetness, a combination drinkers warm to as well.
Orange blossom and acacia honey lead, the calling card of month-dried Moscato grown on Maculan's volcanic tufa slopes at Breganze. Fresh herbs and spring-blossom freshness sit behind them, with muscat grape, honey and citrus underneath.
Citrusy fruit
Acacia
Orange blossom
Grape
HoneyFully sweet at 110 g/l residual sugar yet light on its feet at around 11.5% alcohol. The month in the fruttaio is followed by a temperature-controlled steel fermentation and no oak at all, so the honeyed, chilled-grape flavours stay primary, with citrus acidity carrying the sugar.
Long, honeyed and floral rather than syrupy: the fresh acidity stops 110 g/l of sugar reading heavy.
Dindarello is Maculan's drink-young passito: one month of drying and no botrytis, where the four-month-dried Torcolato and botrytised Acininobili sit above it for weight and age. With 91 points from Tom Cannavan, and well liked by drinkers too, the verdict is the same from both sides: floral, genuinely fresh sweetness.
Two vintages are live with our partner retailers: Svinando sells the 2024 at £16.00 in 37.5cl, and Vino.com has the 2025 reduced to £13.90 from £17.38. Wider UK retail runs about £15.50 to £18 for the half bottle.

The scores below weigh Dindarello as a beginner-friendly, pastry-flexible passito at a £16 half-bottle price, benchmarked against Veneto sweet-wine peers like Anselmi's I Capitelli.
Moscato passito at its most approachable: aromatic, unoaked, openly sweet at 11.5%, with no tannin and no botrytis funk to explain.
A £16.00 half bottle buys the 91-point 2024.
A sweet-course specialist: 110 g/l sugar and steel-fresh acidity cover fruit tarts, cream desserts and blue cheese, but it stays a dessert-course wine.
Panettone season, dinner-party desserts and gifting suit it, and twin 91-point reviews for 2024 and 2025 give it talking points beyond the price.
A sub-£20 half bottle makes a midweek dessert pour plausible, but a fully sweet passito is occasion-bound by style, not an all-rounder.
Freshness is the asset: one month of drying, no oak and a Veneto IGT label with no ageing mandate. Maculan holds cellar ambitions for Torcolato; drink Dindarello within three or four years.

Both current releases carry 91-point reviews, James Suckling's on the 2024 among them, and the 2025 is bottled at 11.5% with 110 g/l of residual sugar. This is a passito to drink young, while the floral aromatics are loudest.
Tom Cannavan of wine-pages rated the 2025 91 points in July 2026: 11.5% alcohol, 110 g/l residual sugar, dried one month with no botrytis and no oak. The current release; drink young and chilled.
James Suckling rated the 2024 Dindarello 91 points, per the awards panel listed by Vino.com. A month-dried Moscato with no oak, it is best drunk by 2028 while the orange-blossom aromatics are at their loudest.

Drink-now / hold guidance reflects general style cues for this wine, not a forecast for a specific bottle. Where vintage-level editorial notes exist, they appear above.
Dindarello is labelled Veneto IGT rather than Breganze DOC, which leaves Maculan free to dry Moscato for a month in the fruttaio. The family has farmed Breganze's volcanic tufa hillsides since 1947, today about 40 hectares of terraced slopes.
Italian wine law sorts bottles into a pyramid. DOCG sits at the top: tightly drawn boundaries, prescribed grapes, mandatory ageing, government tasting before release. DOC is the same idea with looser thresholds. IGT (Indicazione Geografica Tipica) is broader still, requiring only that 85% of the grapes come from the named territory.
Veneto is in the IGT tier. That is not a quality verdict, it is a description of how much freedom the producer has at vinification and ageing.
Veneto IGT is the region-wide label, so the grapes can come from anywhere in Veneto.

Wine area
Producer: Maculan, Breganze. Directions
Maculan dries hand-picked Moscato for about a month, shrinking juice yield per bottle. In the traditional method the bunches are braided and hung from beams.
The family farms terraced slopes of volcanic tufa, about 70% of Breganze's vineyard land, hand-worked hillsides that cost more to farm than mechanised valley floors.
The wine sees no oak at all; that spares the year in one-third-new French barriques Maculan reserves for Torcolato, and keeps Dindarello the affordable sweet wine in the range.
The canonical 37.5cl format halves the fruit per bottle sold; UK shelf prices run £15.50 to £18, with our live listings at £16.00 and £17.38 (currently reduced to £13.90).
About £4.00 of the £16.00 price is tax: roughly £1.33 duty at HMRC's 2026 still-wine rate pro-rated to 37.5cl under 15% abv, plus £2.67 VAT.
Maculan's serving lead is pastry: fruit tarts, almond biscuits and cream desserts. With 110 g/l of sugar the dish must stay less sweet than the wine, and the fresh acidity keeps cream and even blue cheese in play.
The first rule of dessert pairing is that the wine must be sweeter than the plate. At 110 g/l residual sugar Dindarello outruns frangipane and jam tarts, and the fresh acidity of the 2025 refreshes between bites.

Orange blossom and candied-citrus aromas in the wine mirror panettone's candied peel, while honey notes pick up almond biscuits. Maculan's own serving advice for Dindarello leans on dry pastry for exactly this bridge.
Try with: Panettone · almond biscotti · pandoro · More pairings →
Steel fermentation with no oak keeps Dindarello's acidity bright, and that freshness slices through cream and mascarpone fat while sugar meets sugar. Spoon desserts work for the same reason.
Try with: Cheesecake · panna cotta · custard tart · More pairings →
Salt and sweet is the classic cheese-course contrast, and at 11.5% alcohol Dindarello does it far lighter than fortified wine. The saline punch of a blue amplifies the wine's honey while the acidity scrubs the palate.
Try with: Blue cheese · Gorgonzola dolce · aged pecorino · More pairings →
The 2025 is fully sweet but quite light, and that low weight is the point. Delicate fruit plates and coconut desserts are matched, not buried, while muscat-grape aromatics echo mango and melon.
Try with: Mango Sticky Rice · fresh fruit platter · coconut rice pudding · More pairings →
Bitter 70% cocoa and roasted espresso flavours crush a light, unoaked 11.5% Moscato: the orange-blossom delicacy vanishes and the sugar turns cloying against the bitterness. For chocolate, pour a Recioto della Valpolicella instead.

Dindarello sees no oak and is released within a year of harvest: it is Maculan's freshest sweet wine, not an ager. The estate's four-month-dried, barrique-raised Torcolato is the cellar candidate; drink Dindarello inside three or four years.

Confidence · MediumA sweet passito dessert wine from Breganze in the Veneto, made from 100% Moscato and labelled Veneto IGT. Maculan dries the grapes for about a month, ferments in steel and bottles without oak, keeping it light at around 11.5% alcohol.
Hand-picked Moscato dries for around a month in the fruttaio, concentrating sugar before a temperature-controlled steel fermentation and roughly three months' rest in bottle. Unlike Maculan's Torcolato there is no oak, and the grapes carry no botrytis.
Orange blossom, acacia honey, muscat grape and citrus, fully sweet at about 110 g/l residual sugar but fresh and light-bodied. Tom Cannavan rated the 2025 91 points, and drinkers like it as well.
Fruit tarts, almond pastries, panettone and cream desserts are the classic matches, and the salt-sweet contrast works with blue cheese. Keep the dish less sweet than the wine and serve chilled at 10-12C in a small glass.
Drunk young. It is built on freshness rather than concentration, so aim to drink within three or four years of the vintage; the 2024 and 2025 both sit in their ideal window now.
The canonical format is a 37.5cl half bottle, the size most UK retailers list between £15.50 and £18; Maculan also bottles a 75cl version. Our live listings start at £16.00.
