Moser still owns the vineyard, and you can stay there as well. Recently he released Spumante 51.151, see: http://italiancyclingjournal.blogspot.com/2009/12/spumante-51151-by-francesco-moser.html

1979 was a great year for Francesco Moser: he won Paris Roubaix for the second time, 1980 he won again. This wine must have been labelled especially for his Paris Roubaix success. Diego, who owned and still ownes (?) the winery is his brother if I recall correctly.

Here is the bottle of wine itself: http://www.wooljersey.com/gallery/Freeks-racefietsen/Francesco+e+Diego+Moser/

I am not, I repeat NOT, gonna open that bottle of wine ...
