I asked this as the second part of a two part post earlier and no one responded to it. What is the Opera song sung during the Bolla Merlot Wine commercial that is playing all the time on the air lately? It sounds like Placido Domingo or Jose Carreas. Anyone know?

Sheesh! What an easy question!

"Thank you for your email message to Bolla Wines of Italy. The name of the  
song in the Bolla TV “Kiss” commercial is Sogno and is sung by Andrea
