Product Information
Michele Chiarlo, Nizza ‘Cipressi’ Barbera d’Asti Superiore 2021 is a total showstopper—an absolute gem of a Barbera. The nose hits you with vibrant red berries, ripe cherries, and wild raspberries, while a subtle touch of sweet tobacco adds depth and intrigue. On the palate, it's beautifully structured and layered, with a rich, rounded texture that leads into a savory finish. Earthy undertones of truffle, leather, and game mingle with pressed violets and lush black-skinned fruits, giving you that classic Italian complexity. Flavours of star anise, black cherry, plum, and a hint of crushed mint tie it all together, supported by polished tannins and just the right lift of acidity.
From Michele Chiarlo, a top name in Piemonte, this wine reflects everything we love about Barbera. Nizza, a prestigious sub-region of Asti, is known for producing some of the best Barbera, and ‘Cipressi’ truly showcases what this region is capable of. With meticulous vineyard care and traditional winemaking, this 2021 vintage captures the essence of the terroir. It’s not just a bottle of wine—it’s a delicious, personality-packed expression of what Barbera can be. An absolute must-try for any serious wine lover!
