Since 1956, the Piedmonte winemaker Michele Chiarlo has made superior Barberas and high quality Barolos that today are consistently among the most renowned expressions of these wines. Over the years, Michele Chiarlo has realized a success and recognition brought by constant pursuit of quality.
The winery is 100% family owned and operated, showcasing only local, single varietal expressions of terroir- no international grapes and no blends. The family specializes in 4 grapes that are considered to be the greatest native varietals of Piedmont: Nebbiolo, Barbera, Cortese and Moscato.
Tasting Notes
The grapes are hand harvested and fermented in stainless steel. 10 days of maceration on the skins followed by malolactic fermentation and ageing for 12 months in a combination of stainless steel, wood and bottle. Brilliant garnet red colour with wonderful varietal character on the nose; notes of violet, red fruits and light spices. The palate has great structure with fine tannins and a round texture and long finish.
