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. The Principe is produced with the grapes from the Nebbiolo hills in the Langa area and has been left to refine in large vats for a year. Notes of violet, red fruits and elegant fine spices. Harmonious, with good structure, the presence of fine tannins and a good round finish.

The nebbiolo grape has declined in this D.O.C. Langhe to exalt the peculiarities of the hills and bring some tradition on to tables. A young wine, but at the same time important, where the tannins with delicate softness and spicy aromas inebriate the nose, also recalling vanilla and caramelized notes. A wine that make every day a bit more special. Cascina Ghercina Langhe Nebbiolo 2016 vintage is a light ruby red colour. Deceiving to a wine rich in potential. The nose has aromas of spice, hints of hay, and tobacco. Tannins leave a pleasant feeling. Pair this wine with roasts, meats, and soft cheeses.

The 2018 growing season started with so many rainbows that our La Mistura must be the pot of gold. A delicate, floral wine created from a blend of 2 vineyards ( Virago and Red Hill), 2 vintages (2018 and 2017) and 3 vessels (Gamba, Hogshead and Amphora).

The 19 Marzo 1878 Barbera is named for the birthdate of founder Giacomo Boveri’s grandfather, marking the beginning of a family legacy in Colli Tortonesi. This single-vineyard Barbera is grown on steep, limestone-rich slopes in Montemarzino, at an elevation of 300–400m, an area more commonly known for Timorasso but capable of producing structured, age-worthy Barbera. Giacomo Boveri works without the use of irrigation, herbicides, or pesticides. He ferments the wine with native yeasts in stainless steel before maturing it for one year in large Slavonian oak casks. Each vintage showcases a core of sour cherry and black plum, complemented by lifted acidity and fine tannins. Notes of dried herbs and liquorice build with time in the bottle. This is a serious Barbera built on freshness, not fatness, and sits closer in style to the wines of Alba than Asti. A clear expression of terroir, history and hands-on winemaking in a corner of Piedmont still largely undiscovered.

Gian Luca’s new (NU) wine is an early bottled, fruity, juicy blend of all his grapes that do not make it into his varietal wines. It is bottled in 1L bottles and sealed under crown cap rather than cork. The style is one of accessibility and charm, with a classic Piedmont profile of brambly dark fruits and freshness.

Grown in the vineyards of Cascina Valmenera, the heart of our estate. We call them “our stairway to heaven”, to quote Led Zeppelin, because the rows are laid out in an amphitheatre that seems to climb up into the sky. They were planted at the end of the Nineties and enjoy south-westerly exposure. Here, in the sandy marl of what was once a seabed, Nebbiolo is able to fully express elegance and vigour. Ruby red: fine and delicate bouquet with scents of rose and violet, wild strawberry and raspberry; dry, harmonious and nicely persistent
