Michele Chiarlo Nivole Moscato d'Asti (37.5cl, 5%)

Michele Chiarlo Nivole Moscato d'Asti is a lightly sparkling, semi-sweet wine from Piedmont, made from 100% Moscato Bianco. The grapes undergo soft whole-cluster pressing, and the must is stored at -2°C before slow fermentation in autoclaves at controlled temperatures until reaching 5% alcohol. A portion of the carbon dioxide produced during fermentation remains naturally trapped, creating gentle effervescence. The wine is micro-filtered to halt yeast activity and immediately bottled. The nose shows white peach, apricot, jasmine, almond blossom, honey, candied orange peel and wild mint. The palate is soft and creamy, with fine bubbles, ripe peach, grapefruit, gentle sweetness, bright acidity, chamomile and sage. The finish is clean and moderately brief, with stone fruit and citrus peel.
