2018 Michele Chiarlo Barbaresco Reyna
2018 Michele Chiarlo Barbaresco Reyna The vineyards lie on the steep southwest facing Langhe hillsides. Grapes are harvested an average of 10 to 15 days later than normal resulting in extremely rich musts high in sugar and lower in acidity. Temperature controlled fermentation is followed by malolactic fermentation and aging in French Allier and Slavonian oak followed by additional aging in bottle.
TASTING NOTE
Pure high-toned red berry aromas and flavors with spice notes surround a core of vivid acidity and moderate tannins. Similar in character to Barolo but more delicate this Barbaresco has great aging potential.
FOOD PAIRING
This is a great wine for roasts and game.
POINTS OF DISTINCTION
Similar in character to Barolo but more delicate
Matured one year in oak barrels and one year in bottle before release
