Michele Chiarlo Reyna 2016 Barbaresco is produced from 100% Nebbiolo sourced from two vineyards in the Piedmont wine region. In the Treiso Vineyard, vines are grown in calcareous clay marl soils and in the Barbaresco Vineyard, the earth has more sand. The wine was aged 18 months in large oak casks. Fragrant with red berry fruit, rose petals, black tea and sous bois aromas; elegant on the palate with dried cherry, red berry, tobacco leaf and anise flavour matched with mouth-watering acidity. Tannins are fine and grippy. Needs a bit more cellar time to begin to show its best. Try in 2024. Pour with a well-marbled prime rib roast.

Barbaresco food pairings: rich meaty stews, pork sausage and roast root vegetable casserole, roast chicken.
