Michele Chiarlo, Nizza 'Cipressi', Barbera d'Asti Superiore 2022
Piemonte 
100%  Barbera 
14.5% abv
A silky Barbera showing aromas of ripe Morello cherry and raspberry with sweet notes of wild herbs and tobacco and a rich, savoury expression on the palate.
 
The grapes spent 10 to 12 days macerating on the skins in stainless steel tanks, during which a gentle shower system dispersed the cap, in order to extract colour, flavour and impart structure to the wine. Fermentation started at 30°C which was reduced to 27°C followed by malolactic conversion, which rounded out the palate.
The wine spent a minimum of 12 months in large oak casks followed by at least six months refinement in the bottle. 
An exceptional Barbera showing wonderful clarity and elegance, with aromas of red berries, ripe cherry, wild raspberry and sweet notes of tobacco. Complex and structured on the palate with a rounded, silky texture and pleasing savoury finish.
