Barolo 'Cerequio' DOCG Michele Chiarlo 2018

In a natural amphitheater of rolling hills, between the municipalities of La Morra and Barolo , the Barolo DOCG Cerequio of the Michele Chiarlo winery is born. The wine district of this corner of Piedmont offers Barolo crus that produce wines with exceptional temper. The company is dedicated with traditional peasant care to the management of the vineyards, enhancing the resources of the terroir. The soils, in fact, are made up of clayey-limestone marl, poor in organic substances, but rich in mineral salts such as magnesium and manganese. The harsh winters and the strong temperature variations are the basis for the adequate ripening of the bunches which reach the perfect balance at the end of the summer. The grapes, harvested manually in crates, arrive intact at the cellar where the careful vinification begins. The rest in large barrels, according to the "traditionalist" philosophy (and not in barriques, as per the "modernist" tradition), allows to obtain a full-bodied, complex and harmonious wine. A tannic elegance and a silky texture distinguish Barolo DOCG Cerequio which can be tasted immediately, but also left to refine in the cellar for several years.
