Michele Chiarlo’s Barbaresco Asili comes from a renowned cru with limestone‑rich marls in the village of Barbaresco. Old Nebbiolo vines yield fruit of great purity and finesse. The bouquet is fragrant and lifted, showing wild cherry, raspberry, blackcurrant, violet and rose, along with hints of crushed stone. On the palate the wine is silky and finely etched, with precise tannins and vibrant acidity. The long finish lingers on floral notes and savoury spice. This is a poised, terroir‑driven Barbaresco that will reward patient cellaring.
When the Monferrato hills sink into morning mist, Michele Chiarlo turns Barbera into a true calling card of Piemonte. Since 1956, the family has built a patchwork of sites around Calamandrana, pursuing a balance of cru thinking and modern precision, vintage after vintage....
The Great Vertical Tasting: A wine through the mirror of time.
Anyone who compares wine across several vintages discovers its development in a particularly impressive way. A vertical tasting reveals how style, maturity, structure and aromas change over time – and helps to find the right vintage for personal taste or a special occasion.
The grape variety: Nebbiolo
Nebbiolo produces pale but powerful red wines with cherry, rose, spice, high acidity and firm tannins.
It is especially famous in Barolo and Barbaresco and pairs beautifully with braised meat, truffle dishes, mushrooms, game and aged cheese.
