Cantina Lavis Nosiola

WHAT IS NOSIOLA?
 
Nosiola is a golden skinned grape grown predominantly in the Trentinto region and is most famously used in Vino Santo, a high-quality sweet style of Italian wine where the grapes undergo botrytis. In recent years, producers have started to turn to making dry styles.
 
TASTING NOTES:
 
Nosiola can vary in style depending on the altitude and micro-climates in the vineyards. Cantina Lavis Nosiola is pale yellow in colour with pastel green tints. The wine has wonderful floral suggestions of rose petals, lychee, and jasmine, intertwined with nice citrus notes. It is full and persistent on the palate, with just the right acidity.
 
FOR FANS OF:
 
I said this is like big boy Pinot Grigio. It's crisp and elegant, but there's more complexity to it than a standard Pinot Grigio. It sits a bit heavier in the mouth and has a longer finish than most Pinots.
