ABOUT THE PRODUCER:
Michele Chiarlo is one of Piedmont’s most prestigious wine producers, creating outstanding wines from some of the most exceptional sites in Piedmont, including Barolo’s world-famous Cannubi and Cerequio vineyards. Founded in 1956 by the great Michele Chiarlo and now run by his sons Alberto and Stefano, the Chiarlo philosophy is to capture the terroir from their sustainably cultivated vineyards, which hold the Equalitas certification. With a judicious use of oak, they hand-craft a selection of wines suitable for ageing and some which can be enjoyed earlier. Their stunning collection of Barolo and Barbera wines consistently receive 90+ points from Wine Advocate, James Suckling and Wine Enthusiast.
ABOUT THE VINEYARD:
The grapes come from the La Court vineyard. A prestigious site originating from the 1800s, the single parcel covers three hectares. The vineyard has a southeastern to southwestern exposure at 240 metres above sea-level and produces very low yields. The vines are Guyot-trained. The soils are designated as ‘Artisane Sands’, which consist of calcareous clay marl of sedimentary marine origin with high lime and sand content. They produce ample, intense and elegant wines with good structure and longevity. The vines are manually harvested.
THE WINEMAKING PROCESS:
The grapes were fermented on the skins in 55-hectolitre oak barrels for 15 days at controlled temperatures of between 27° to 30°C. A gentle shower system, involving submerging the cap, was used to extract flavour, colour, and structure. Malolactic conversion took place in stainless steel tanks. The wine was refined for 30 months. Oak maturation lasted for 12 months: 50% in 55hl French oak barrels and 50% in Allier oak barriques, followed by a further 18 months in bottle before release.
OUR TASTING NOTE:
A beautifully textured and complex wine with layers of black cherry, cocoa and coffee. Harmoniously balanced, with a velvety palate and a long, silky finish, its richness and elegance place it amongst the finest wines in Chiarlo’s portfolio.
GRAPE VARIETY:
Barbera 100%.
