Winemaking notes
Harvest is done manually. Vinification involves fermentation for 20 days with the skins in 55 hl oak vats, using a soft "shower" system to wet the cap at temperatures between 30°C and 27°C, followed by malolactic vat fermentation. Refinement takes a minimum of 3 years, with the wine aged for 2 years in average-sized oak casks before further refinement in the bottle.
Viticultural notes
Cannubi, perhaps the most famous hill in Italy: the most acclaimed and prominent vineyard of the Barolo denomination. Historically the oldest Italian cru, recognized since 1752, everything in this area is perfect: the altitude, exposure, soils, location and microclimate yield Barolo wines at the top of the denomination. Michele Chiarlo has owned the vineyard since 1989. Situated in the historic heart of Cannubi (where the "ciabot", or the ancient Cannubi shed, can be found), it rises on a steep slope that has been terraced with grassy ridges under the guidance of the Swiss University of Changin. A delicate job that currently guarantees soil integrity and combats hydrogeological instability
Tasting notes
The color is a vibrant ruby-red with brilliant hues. The nose is intense, aristocratic, and complex, with notes of small fruits, liquorice, and sweet tobacco. On the palate, it is enveloping and rich, featuring silky tannins that accompany a sensation of body and fullness.
Pairing notes
Roasts, tagliolini with truffle, wild game, well-matured cheeses
