Wine > Vini rossi Michele Chiarlo Barbera Nizza Riserva Docg la Court 2019 - Michele Chiarlo 0.75 lt

Michele Chiarlo's Court Nizza Riserva was born in the estate of the same name, acquired in 1995 and designed as the "Chateaux of Nizza Docg": the former Aluffi estate, of nineteenth-century origin, is a single body of over 20 hectares, arranged on two hills. We are in the municipality of Castelnuovo Calcea, at 250 meters above sea level, with south-southwest exposure; the soils are part of the so-called Asti sands, made up of clayey-limestone marl of marine sedimentary origin, with a good presence of silt and sand, rich in microelements. This Nizza Riserva, which wears a beautiful label by the artist Giancarlo Ferraris, is pure Barbera. The yield is very low, in fact a green harvest is carried out leaving no more than 6 bunches on the plant; the grapes are fermented in 55hL oak vats with 15 days of maceration, with soft wetting of the cap. After malolactic fermentation, the wine is decanted half into barrique, half into large wood, where it matures for about a year, then it is assembled and left to refine further in the bottle.

LA COURT NICE RESERVE MICHELE CHIARLO: THE TASTING
The Court Nizza Riserva by Michele Chiarlo is dark ruby with purple reflections. On the nose it exhibits warm and bloody notes, hints of mountain herbs, blackberries and black cherries, coffee and tobacco. In the mouth it is broad and balanced, fresh and with a long aromatic development. Very good with tender veal with porcini mushrooms.

Since 1956, Michele Chiarlo has vinified the essence of Piedmont, enhancing the incredible one of the most loved wine territory in the world. Michele, who comes from a family of small wine producers, runs the winery together with his sons Alberto and Stefano and controls over 100 hectares of large vineyards in Piedmont, one of the most interesting Italian regions from a wine point of view. In particular, Langhe and Monferrato recently declared a UNESCO World Heritage Site. These wines, exported to 56 countries, have had the most important awards of the Italian and international press.
