Description
In a nutshell:
Full-flavoured and beautifully aromatic, this elegant Barbaresco is all red berries, rose petals, and a touch of spice, wrapped up in fine tannins and a long, refined finish.
The lowdown:
Barbaresco is Nebbiolo at its most silky, fragrant, and refined, and that's exactly what you get here. Aged for 18 months in large oak casks, it has that classic pale, translucent colour and is packed with plum, spice, liquorice, leather, and violets, all seamlessly intertwined. Crisp acidity, supple texture, and floral elegance keep it fresh, while finely structured tannins give it balance. Expressive and approachable, it's a superb expression of Barbaresco's finesse.
The Producer:
Michele Chiarlo is one of Piedmont's great winemakers. His family owns 60 hectares of vineyard in three of the classic growing areas - Langhe, Monferrato and Gavi and have access to a further 50 hectares through long-term relationships with their growers. Michele has insisted on total quality since his first vintage in 1956, an ethos which his sons Stefano and Alberto adopt today. The Chiarlo style is elegant and complex and they make wines that can age for decades but above all reflect their provenance - some of the finest vineyard sites in Piedmont.
When to drink:
The silky texture and sheer elegance of this pairs really well with feathered game like partridge or pheasant or well hung fillet steak. Avoid overly rich sauces though.
