- A fresh and approachable Barbera with flavours of red cherry and cinnamon enhanced by wild herb tones. A medium-bodied and well-flavoured Barbera full of vibrant pomegranate and red cherry fruit with freshness on the finish. An elegant and intense Barbera with ripe cherry and redcurrant notes layered with spice. It is harmonious, rounded and beautifully balanced through a lovely savoury finish.
The fruit was picked when fully ripe, and each vineyard block was fermented separately. Fermentation occurred in stainless steel tanks, lasting 10 days with maceration on the skins. A gentle shower system of submerging the cap was used to extract flavour, colour and structure. After malolactic conversion, the wine was racked and aged in a combination of stainless steel and oak. The oak ageing lasted for three months, imparting a subtle complexity, but the final blend retains its freshness and the varietal Barbera characteristics. The wine then spent further time in a bottle, and the maturation period lasted 16 months.
This elegant and intense Barbera is bursting with notes of ripe cherry and redcurrant, layered with a touch of spice. It is harmonious, rounded, and beautifully balanced, with a lovely savoury finish.

| Winery | Michele Chiarlo leads the way in the production of Barbera d'Asti, and over the past 50 years, they have devoted time, research and investment into the vineyards and cellar, resulting in this highly regarded wine. This Barbera d'Asti is named after the Orme su La Court, Michele Chiarlo's artistic park. The grapes are cultivated here and in Montemareto and Costa della Monarche in the Asti area. The vineyard soils are known as Astiane Sands and consist of calcareous clay marl of sedimentary marine origin, with a good presence of lime and sand; they are rich in microelements, particularly magnesium. These soils produce ample, intense, elegant wines of good structure, yet they are also fresh and velvety with a long, silky finish. |
