Michele Chiarlo was founded in 1956 by the sole and present owners, Michele and Giuseppina Chiarlo. Son of over seven generations of esteemed wine growers, Mr. Chiarlo is today one of the most respected producers of the fine wines of Piedmont and a leading figure in its viticultural industry. Barolo Palas is a true Barolo Chiarlo, classic in its winemaking and ageing style.The vineyards of Monforte give the wine spice and texture, recalling the fruit and freshness of novello and La Morra.

The Barolo embarks on a rather straightforward performance initially, and the wine gains in complexity as it opens in the glass. The bouquet is elegant and tapered with wild berry, spice and licorice. It is ample in terms of mouthfeel, delivering medium texture and depth. Classic and elegant are two appropriate descriptors. ‘Alessandria's Barolo is gorgeous. Sweet dark cherry, kirsch, cinnamon, rose petal, mint and orange peel lead into a core of soft, open-knit fruit. Silky tannins and soft contours add to its overall appeal. The aromatics alone are beguiling, but it is the wine's overall balance that is most impressive of all.’ - Antonio Galloni.

This Cru in the commune of La Morra is located on a gently sloping hillside. The section owned by the Reverdito family produces wines which Alessandro Masnaghetti, in his guide to Barolo MGAs, defines as “warm-hearted”. These grapes produce Barolo Docg Ascheri. Garnet red with orange highlights, spicy bouquet with a hint of forest floor. Full-bodied and harmonious in the mouth, with fine tannins.

Old vines, 60-70 years old; submerged cap fermentation in steel with maceration on the skins for about 4-5 weeks, then 18 months ageing in large barrels to obtain the spearhead of the cellar. A ready and enveloping wine like the freshness of the summer wind, changes in the glass; to follow in its evolution. Textural and complex, a wine with character. Withered flowers, ripe raspberries and lots of blueberries. Delicate tannins and tension in the mouth, elegant and well supported.
