Michele Chiarlo Barbaresco Asili (750 ml): Michele Chiarlo’s Barbaresco from the Asili vineyard is a superb example of Nebbiolo’s potential in Piedmont. The wine offers a bouquet of red fruits, roses, and a hint of tar, characteristics intrinsic to the varietal. Fermentation in stainless steel tanks followed by aging in oak barrels ensures a wine that is both expressive and well-structured. The palate is met with a silky texture, fine tannins, and a vibrant acidity, culminating in a long, nuanced finish, making it an excellent choice for pairing with rich, savory dishes.
