Since 1956, the Piedmonte winemaker Michele Chiarlo has made superior Barberas and high quality Barolos that today are consistently among the most renowned expressions of these wines. Over the years, Michele Chiarlo has realized a success and recognition brought by constant pursuit of quality.The winery is 100% family owned and operated, showcasing only local, single varietal expressions of terroir- no international grapes and no blends. The family specializes in 4 grapes that are considered to be the greatest native varietals of Piedmont: Nebbiolo, Barbera, Cortese and Moscato.
Tasting Notes
Brilliant, straw yellow color with pronounced fresh grapey aromas characteristic of the Muscat varietal. Lychee, tropical fruit, orange blossom on the nose and palate. This is a very low alcohol white wine, just 5% abv. The sweetness on the palate comes from the remaining natural grape sugars. There is a slight effervescence on the palate that balances the wine’s sweetness. Serve chilled with fresh fruit, fruit based desserts and sorbets.
Method
The Moscato grapes come from the vineyards in the heart of Asti and grow on soil that is sandy sedimentary marine origin with an south east exposure. The grapes are hand harvested, and soft whole cluster pressing. The must is stored in a tank at -2°C to maintain the integrity of the aromas, followed by slow fermentation in an autoclave at a a controlled temperature until reaching an alcohol content of 5%. During this process, a part of the carbon dioxide developed during fermentation remains “entrapped”, giving the wine its mild, natural effervescence. Before bottling, the wine undergoes a process of micro-filtration to give the wine its clarity, purity and prevents any further fermentation of the yeasts.

A definite fruity nose with hints of peach and marmalade. Mousse is somewhat coarse yet persistent. Overall, it’s a bit disappointing. Taste is dominated by the sweetness, reminiscent of white cream soda pop. Less refined and elegant than expected and described.
