Cipressi Barbera Nizza DOCG 2019

The Michele Chiarlo 2019 Nizza Cipressi is a generous and abundant expression of Barbera with an inky dark color. The bouquet reveals blackberry, blackcurrant and lots of rich primary fruit. Cipressi is fermented in steel and aged in large oak casks for one year. The wine's texture is soft and plush, and you get that little kick of acidity that is characteristic of this versatile grape.

Bright ruby red; aromas of blueberry, cherry preserves and medicinal herbs. Medium-bodied, this has perfectly ripe fruit, very attractive varietal fruit flavors on the palate, good acidity, very light tannins and good persistence. Subdued wood notes, and a nice sense of finesse.

This supple red is packed with fresh blackberry, blueberry and violet flavors, supported by a firm yet pliant structure. This is persistent, expanding on the finish.

The 2018 Nizza Cipressi is a generous and abundant red wine that shows the latitude and versatility of the native Piedmont Barbera grape. It opens to dark intensity and sweet aromas of blackberry, plum and black currant. Soft tones of cinnamon and baking spice also appear.
