Nosiola grapes are prized for producing two distinct styles of wine: a light and invigorating dry white, as well as the lusciously sweet vino santo. Dry Nosiola wines enchant with delicate aromas of hazelnut, white flowers, and citrus, delivering a refreshing palate underscored by a remarkable saline essence that lingers delightfully. Meanwhile, Vino Santos crafted from Nosiola grapes offer a rich tapestry of flavors, boasting complexity and sweetness with notes of ripe peach, almond paste, lime, candied pineapple, and tropical fruit jelly. Elevated by the variety’s signature high acidity, these wines elevate the palate experience, extending the sumptuous flavors long after each sip.
