Barbera d'Asti Nizza DOCG Cipressi 2023 Magnum - Michele Chiarlo (1.5L)

A 2023 Barbera d'Asti Nizza DOCG from Michele Chiarlo, presented in a 1500 ml bottle. It comes from hills topped by ancient cypress trees and, since 2014, may carry the Nizza denomination. The grapes ferment for 10-12 days at 27-30 degrees, then mature for one year in large cask and a further 9-10 months in bottle. The aim is to express the classic character of Barbera. In the glass it is purple. The nose shows ripe berry fruit with woody and spicy notes. The palate is rich, medium-bodied and enveloping, with refreshing acidity and medium persistence. It suits meat-based first and second courses, and is excellent with agnolotti with rabbit ragù.
