Description
In a nutshell:
Complex and full-bodied, this classic Barolo is packed with red berries, rose petals, and warm spice, with fine tannins and a long, refined finish.
The lowdown:
This is a generous, full-bodied Barolo, yet it retains a refined elegance that keeps it beautifully poised. Sourced from vineyards in La Morra and Barolo itself, it spends two years in oak, giving a silky balance to bold tannins that frame its complex, spicy flavours. Dark fruit, rose petals, and juniper lead the aromas, with a hint of spice adding depth. There's remarkable finesse here, with everything well judged and a finish that lingers effortlessly. Classic yet inviting, it shows how seamlessly Barolo can combine power with elegance.
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:
Just coming into its own, this pairs beautifully with rich game like venison or pheasant, while its silky tannins and depth make it a great match for mature cheeses like aged pecorino or Parmigiano.
