Wine Reviews

Offering a mix of cherry, plum, rose and tar flavors, this red is fresh and focused. A line of engaging tannins keeps this firm, while vibrant acidity extends the complex, fruit-, spice- and mineral-tinged aftertaste. Shows excellent equilibrium.

Here’s a Nebbiolo with balanced freshness and a fun bouquet that is lifted and bright, showing aromas of redcurrant and dried violet. The Michele Chiarlo 2021 Barbaresco Asili shows the power and elegance of this classic vintage, and it does so with easy confidence.

Chiarlo’s 2021 Barbaresco Asili is rich and enveloping in feel. In other words, classic Asili. Macerated red cherry, spice, leather, tobacco, orange peel, incense, spice and mocha build nicely, framed by a kiss of French oak that is a signature here. This fleshy, inviting Barbaresco will drink well right out of the gate.

An evolved and complex wine with a lot of fresh leather and blood oranges, dried flowers and earthy tones. Firm on the palate, this has medium body and slightly dusty tannins balanced by fruit concentration and juicy acidity in the finish.
