Winemaker's Tips
Nebbiolo Barbaresco DOCG Michele Chiarlo, for those unfamiliar with it, Asili is a special Barbaresco DOCG designation. This denomination can only be used in the four municipalities of Barbaresco, Neive, Alba, and Treiso. This Asili is produced in a single hectare area. The wine produced may be young, but it already manages to be deeply enjoyable. It's one of those Piedmontese reds that you sip, put down the glass, and after a few seconds, pick it up again. Who knows in a few years? Decidedly balanced.
Characteristics of Nebbiolo Wine
Barbaresco is an important Cru from Cantine Chiarlo, representing the highest expression of its wines in the Barbaresco DOC. This bottle achieves near-perfect evolution, with a clean nose, a perfect balance of flavor and aroma, balance, persistence, and harmony, exceptionally well-preserved to achieve a perfect score.
Recommended pairings and serving:
Nebbiolo Barbaresco DOCG with meats, vegetable-based first courses with lamb, pork sausages in cabbage stew, grilled steaks, hare cacciatore, and pairs well with bruschetta and 'nduja. Uncork a Barbaresco DOCG and decant an hour before serving at 16-18°C in a large balloon glass.
Michele Chiarlo is one of the historic founders of the Consorzio Grandi Vini, founders of the Accademia del Barolo, and was chosen to be part of the Grandi Marchi Institute of Italian Quality Wine.
