Anas-Cëtta is an invented name that was used initially because the wine was not a DOC. (In Italy, it is not possible to use the varietal name if the wine is not DOC.) That changed in 2010 when Nascetta of Novello gained DOC status. Since the first limited production in 1994, the Elvio Cogno winery has drawn upon the knowledge of the old-timers in Novello to make a wine for the youth of today. Mentioned in winemaking documents as early as the second half of the 19th century, this white wine, probably of local origin, has a sapidity reminiscent of the great hot-clime varietals such as Vermentino.
