Barbaresco DOCG "Asili" 2021 - Michele Chiarlo

A Barbaresco DOCG from Michele Chiarlo, made from Nebbiolo grown in the Asili vineyard near Barbaresco. It ferments in oak vats for 15 days at 27-30 °C, then matures for 18 months in oak barrels and one year in bottle. In the glass it is ruby red with slight garnet and orange reflections. The nose recalls red fruit, with fine notes of cocoa, leather, nuts and liquorice. The palate is juicy, full and rich, with notable tannic structure, and the finish is persistent. It pairs well with game, red meats and medium-aged cheeses, and is recommended with pigeon risotto.
