Michele Chiarlo Reyna 2018 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 earthy mushroom, pink, blue florals and mint with red berry, cherry, anise, cinnamon and peppers spice flavours vibrant on the palate. Tannins are pleasantly grippy. Good now, better in 2023 or cellar to 2030.

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

Natalie MacLean is a new force in the wine writing world ‐ a feisty North American answer to Hugh Johnson and Jancis Robinson. She can write beautifully about wine.

The Financial Times of London

There are very few people in the wine world who "get it" and Natalie is one of those who brings more fun to a buttoned-up and stodgy game.
