Delicately perfumed, with characters of pure red fruits and gently aromatic, floral notes, supported by fine spices. Silky tannins frame a core of red berry fruits. Extremely charming, elegant and approachable.
MICHELE CHIARLO BAROLO CANNUBI RESERVA
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, Michele is today one of the most respected producers of the fine wines of Piedmont and a leading figure in its viticultural industry. Cannubi is one of the most prominent vineyards in Barolo and has been recognised as a cru since 1752. The front label depicts the "ciabot", i.e. where the ancient Cannubi shed can be found in the middle of the steep, terraced vineyard. According to winemaker Stefano Chiarlo, 2016 was a vintage of rare qualitative excellence, where the absence of irregular weather events led to healthy, perfectly ripe grapes at harvest. The wine was aged for 3 years i medium-sized oak casks, then further aged in bottle prior to release. The result is an extraordinarily complex and elegant Barolo, with hints of red berries, rose petals, liquorice and rhubarb, with the notes of sweet spices and tobacco so typical of this cru. Structured and complex on the palate, finishing with silky tannins.
MICHELE CHIARLO NIVOLE MOSCATO
“The Moscato is the best dessert wine in the world… and Nivole is constantly the best” - the late Michael Broadbent, Director of Christie’s and Master of Wine. Hand-harvested from select Moscato Bianco vineyards in the Piedmont DOCG, typically with white, sandy soils of maritime origin. The grapes are pressed long and slow, with the juice fermented at low temperatures to capture the variety's typical musky perfume, with fermentation stopped at 5% abv. The carbon dioxide produced during fermentation is retained to give this wine its typical frizzante style. Beautifully aromatic, with floral notes of roses, ripe peach, apricot and mango. Fresh and lively on the palate, with well-balanced summer fruit flavours, zingy acidity, refreshing bubbles and luscious sweetness. So perfumed and extremely drinkable.
