Michele Chiarlo Cipressi Nizza

The winery was established by Michele Chiarlo in 1956 with inaugural vintages of Barbera and Moscato from Asti. The winery produced its first Barolo in 1958 and, in 1987, bought part of the prestigious Cerequio vineyard, which is informally considered to be one of Barolo’s “cru” sites. Michele Chiarlo’s portfolio is broadly divided into three collections: Crus (generally single-vineyard, “icon” wines), Classic, and the Palás range. Wines under the Crus, or Icon, range represent the best wines Chiarlo offers and are only made in top vintages in very limited quantities.

Winemaker’s Notes: Intense ruby red. Surprising for its clarity and elegance, red fruit, mature cherry, raspberry and the sweet notes of tobacco. Complex, structured and impresses for its fresh softness and roundness; pleasing savoury finish.
