Michele Chiarlo Nivole Moscato d’Asti DOCG

Today is World Peace Day, something that 2020 could certainly use more of. It’s the perfect opportunity to toast to peacemakers around the world or in your own life—who has kept the peace for you and the ones you care about? Who do you admire for promoting peace, and how can you learn from them? Michele Chiarlo makes a lovely Moscato d’Asti called “Nivole,” which means “clouds,” depicted in dreamy art on the label. If peace had a flavor, maybe it would be as harmonious and blissful as this lightly sparkling wine.

ORIGIN

Piedmont, Italy

Grapes

Moscato Bianco

Tasting Notes

This sweet, fragrant, lightly sparkling wine has vivid aromas and flavors of peach and apricot on a light body with a delicate finish typical of Moscato d’Asti.

Food Match

An excellent companion to fresh pastries and fruit such as strawberries and peaches. Perfect for brunch, or as an aperitif.
