Michele Chiarlo Moscato d'Asti Nivole
Asti DOCG, Italy
About this product
Nivole ('clouds' in Piedmontese dialect) is Chiarlo's flagship Moscato d'Asti — from Santo Stefano Belbo, the historic heart of the Canelli Moscato zone. A wine of extraordinary perfume: intense white peach, apricot, jasmine, and rose petal on the nose; delicate sweetness and natural acidity on the palate. Arguably the finest value in Italian dessert wine.
