Michele Chiarlo sources grapes from strictly selected Barbera vineyards with excellent exposure to produce superb, balanced wine. The choice vineyards are in the southern area of Asti province, especially the hills around Nizza Monferrato. Temperature-controlled maceration and fermentation on the skins yield the dark, rich color typical of great Barberas. The wine is aged in large French oak casks before release.
Medium-bodied and robust with rich, ripe fruit on the nose and an elegant palate, this pairs well with chicken, mushrooms, pork, and grilled or roasted red meats.
With a custom-designed label or engraving, the 2020 Michele Chiarlo Barbera d'Asti Le Orme makes a memorable addition to any wine gift-giving occasion.
