Description
The team at Michele Chiarlo describes their Barbera d'Asti thusly: 'Our first wine, our greatest love.' You'll be smitten, too, when you uncork this wine's aromas and flavours of blackberry jam, violet, leather and woodspice. The wine spends eight months in oak barrels and an additional four months ageing in bottle before release - you know, to make the heart grow fonder.

Tasting Notes
Whereas the wines of neighbouring Barbera d'Alba are known for their fruit-forward intensity, those of Barbera d'Asti are appreciated for their delicate floral character, which nicely complements the Barbera grape's inherent tangy-cherry flavour. This wine spent 16 months mellowing first in French oak casks and then in bottles before release. It'll make a lovely accompaniment to tomato risotto or pizza.
