Michele Chiarlo sources grapes from strictly selected Barbera vineyards with excellent exposure to produce a 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 yields the dark, rich color that is 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 Michele Chiarlo Barbera d'Asti Le Orme makes a memorable addition to any wine gift giving occasion.
