according to master of wine jancis robinson, nosiola produces very aromatic light-bodied wines that can have a slight bitter note. as a dry varietal wine, these notes can include citrus, apricot and peach fruit flavors as well as characteristic subtle hazelnut note. when made as a "vin santo", often aided by the effect of noble rot on the late harvested grapes, the wines are more fuller-bodied and luscious with notes of orange peel, apricot, lime, pineapple and quince.
