P Nivole Canelli DOCG 2025
Trade Tools
Italy / Piedmont
The Moscato grapes are from the best exposed vineyards of Canelli, a region of Asti renowned for centuries as being an ideal microclimate for Moscato. They are from an 8.6-acre parcel of 50-year-old vines with low yields, resulting in a more aromas and flavor. The excellent exposure of Canelli is balanced by the cold north wind, which maintains the high acidity of the grapes. Due to the high elevation and southern exposure, these grapes ripen earliest and are the first to be harvested, which for Moscato means a more fragrant and flavorful wine. Moscato grapes lose their aromatics the longer they stay on the vine. The ‘P’ stands for “primo” or first for these first-harvested grapes.
Harvest Note
Early, even budbreak and a mild, rainy winter built strong water reserves ahead of a hot summer. Careful vineyard management preserved fruit quality, while a dry, sunny August with cool nights ensured optimal ripening. The 2025 vintage shows bright acidity, freshness, and excellent aromatic development.
Tasting Note
A bright golden yellow, this fragrant Moscato d'Asti Canelli has floral aromas with notes of mango, passion fruit, and lime zest. It is creamy with fine bubbles and a crisp finish.
