Nebbiolo 'Il Principe' Michele Chiarlo 2024
'Principe' Michele Chiarlo on punaviini, joka on valmistettu Nebbiolo-rypäleistä, jotka tulevat kahdesta symbolisesta alueesta, joissa niitä kasvatetaan, nimittäin Roeron ja Barbarescon alueelta. Hienovarainen ja intensiivinen, se paljastaa juomaprofiiliin taipuvan luonteen, mutta säilyttää tämän rypäleen tyypillisen eleganssin ja rakenteen. Pehmeä maku ennakoi violettien ja punaisten hedelmien aromeja, joita on havaittavissa nenässä, ja joita seuraavat hienojen ja herkän mausteiden vivahteet

In the presence of the King of wines – Barolo – this pure Nebbiolo could only be defined as a prince.

One of the most skilled and historic hands of the Langa will guide them best on this fascinating journey. Each label of Chiarlo is the result of an intimate bond between the terroir and the vineyard, which is constantly studied and evaluated.
The Nebbiolo “Il Principe” by Michele Chiarlo is made from grapes coming from both the Barbaresco area and the Roero area. In the former, the vines draw from a marl-limestone soil of gray and bluish color; in the latter, however, from loose and sandy soils. After a summer thinning of the bunches, the harvest takes place manually during the month of October. The alcoholic fermentation takes place in steel containers, as does the malolactic fermentation. It follows a phase of overall aging of 12 months, divided between steel, wood, and bottle.
