2001 Nivole Moscato di Asti 375cl

The 2001 Michele Chiarlo Nivole Moscato d’Asti is a lightly sparkling dessert wine from Piedmont, Italy, made from 100% Moscato Bianco grapes. Though detailed notes for this vintage are rare, its style has remained consistent over the years. Here’s what you can expect from a well-preserved bottle:

Nose: Fragrant and floral, with aromas of peach, apricot, orange blossom, and a touch of honeyed citrus. With age, it may also show hints of almond, dried fruit, or a soft oxidative nuttiness.

Palate: Lightly effervescent (frizzante) and sweet, offering flavors of candied peach, lemon zest, and white flowers. The texture is creamy and delicate, with a gentle sparkle that lifts the sweetness.

Finish: Clean and refreshing, with lingering notes of citrus peel, floral spice, and a whisper of grapey freshness.At just 5% ABV, it’s a charming, low-alcohol sipper—perfect with fruit tarts, almond pastries, or even as a brunch treat. If your bottle has been well stored, it might still offer a mellow, honeyed charm despite its age.
