Why the winemaker recommends Barbaresco
The name represents the Barbaresco Cru area. In the 19th century, Faset was owned by the Cocito Counts of Neive, and today the district is divided among several winemakers. The vineyards form a sort of vegetal amphitheater, a steep, south-facing valley overlooking the Tanaro River. A 3-hectare parcel is part of the Cabanet farm, where Faset Barbaresco comes from. Nutrient-rich soils make the area exceptional, yielding a silky Barbaresco with elegant tannins.
Characteristics of Nebbiolo Wine
Fasset Barbaresco DOCG is an aristocratic Chiarlo Cru, the winery's finest expression of the appellation. It has a moderate ruby color; on the nose, it is fragrant and intense, while on the palate, it is silky and elegant. A wine distinguished by finesse and subtlety, enhanced by a long, discreet finish.
Recommended pairings for wine and serving temperature
Barbaresco wine pairs well with vegetable-based first courses such as lamb, cabbage and pig's trotter stew, grilled chops, and white meat stew. It pairs well with parmigiana.
Uncork and decant Barbaresco one hour before serving at 16-18°C in a large balloon glass.
Michele Chiarlo Wine is one of the historical founders of the Consorzio Grandi Vini, founders of the Accademia del Barolo, and of being chosen to be part of the Institute of Italian wines of great brands.
