Canelli DOCG
Come si dice? Tap the speaker next to a name to hear it in Italian. AI voice.
No strip issued. I'm still hunting a bottle.
The historic heart of Moscato production, promoted to its own DOCG in 2023 with lower yields and a Riserva category that is new territory for Moscato. In the glass it's Moscato d'Asti with more concentration: ripe peach, orange peel, sage and honey, gentle fizz, around 5% alcohol, and a longer, chalkier finish from the limestone of Canelli. Older bottlings still say 'Moscato d'Asti Canelli' on the label, which count.
