Since 1956, Michele Chiarlo has been vinifying the essence of Piedmont, loving and enhancing the most incredible wine-growing area in the world. Cultivating 110 hectares of vineyards between Langhe, Monferrato and Gavi, the best crus in full respect of strict ecological criteria, terroir and their expressions. If tradition is a consolidated innovation, Michele Chiarlo can be fully considered a 'traditional' reality. They have always focused on enhancing the great terroirs of the Langhe and Monferrato, using only indigenous vines, Nebbiolo, Barbera, Cortese and Moscato grown exclusively in the hills, which are the authentic expression and symbol of their terroir and the thousand-year-old wine culture of these places. Michele Chiarlo has chosen an integral sustainable approach, an attention to the environment and the production context that is reflected in every choice made by the winery in order to protect a landscape that is at the very basis of the quality of its wines
Description
Nivole, is defined by most wine critics, including Decanter, Wine Enthusiast and Wine Spectator: 'Moscato is the best dessert wine in the world... and Nivole is continually the best'. A sweet bubbly from Piedmont that appeals to the palate of all enthusiasts. Nivole is obtained from pure white Muscat grapes, of which it expresses all its typical aromaticity.
Organoleptic characteristics:
Brilliant straw yellow colour
Floral bouquet, typical Muscat aromas, with notes of peach and apricot, tropical fruits and hints of herbs
Taste is creamy, fragrant, with a pleasant fine bubble and a particular freshness on the finish that leaves the mouth pleasantly clean
Storage time:
1-4 years
Vinification
The grapes are alcoholically fermented in temperature-controlled autoclaves. During this phase, part of the carbon dioxide developed during fermentation remains 'trapped', giving rise to the typical effervescence of Moscato. Before bottling, micro-filtration is carried out to ensure purity and transparency of the final product.
