Michele Chiarlo and Barbaresco DOCG
A great traditional Barbaresco, a Nebbiolo of great finesse, production of this wine is quite limited, considering that only in the municipalities of Neive, Treiso, and Barbaresco is it possible to plant Nebbiolo vineyards. Vinified separately, parcel by parcel, quality and development are monitored with frequent tastings before blending.
Nebbiolo Wine Characteristics
Reyna by Michele Chiarlo is a Piedmontese wine with a ruby red color and orange highlights. The nose is at its best: wild strawberries and other red fruits preserved in alcohol, nutmeg, cloves, black pepper, bay leaves, milk chocolate, and hints of orange. On the palate, it doesn't quite keep pace with the nose; the aftertaste is less intense and complex. However, on the palate, it has fairly smooth yet perceptible and astringent tannins, with a still bold freshness. Persistent on the palate.
Recommended Pairings
Nebbiolo pairs well with game, red meats, vegetables with lamb, stewed pig's trotters, grilled meat chops, and potato and meat stew. It's excellent with Palermo-style caponata. Uncork and decant Barbaresco DOCG one hour before serving at 16-18°C in a large balloon glass.
Chiarlo Michele winery is among the historic founders of the Consorzio Grandi Vini, founders of the Accademia del Barolo, and has been selected to be part of the Grandi Marchi Institute of Italian Quality Wine.
