Michele Chiarlo
Tortoniano Nebbiolo
An incredibly fine wine from an incredible producer of Nebbiolo. This wine is made with grapes hailing from the firm's celebrated Cerequio and Cannubi vineyards. This exceptional Barolo opens with enticing scents, inviting notes of rose petals, juniper berries, and subtle spices. Ample, good structure, and silky texture of tannins already give a surprising harmony to the juvenile stage of this Barolo. Remarkable elegance and persistence.
Due to state registrations, we cannot ship this wine to AL, AZ, CO, GA, IA, ID, IL, IN, KS, KY, MD, ME, MI, MO, NJ, NV, NY, OH, PA, SD, TX, VT, WA.ABOUT THIS WINE

Barolo
Revered as the "king of wines" and the "wine of kings," Barolo is one of Italy's top red wines. Don't let its pale color fool you—a good Barolo packs a serious punch. Barolo is made from Nebbiolo, a grape that is famously complex, with a love-it-or-hate-it potpourri aroma often described as "tar and roses." As well as these savory and floral notes, other flavors you might find in your glass include red cherry, star anise and leather. While there are a lot of good Nebbiolo wines made in Piedmont, to gain the name "Barolo" a wine must come from the Barolo region. The wine also needs to spend 40 months aging before release, with at least 18 of those months spent in oak barrels. The DOCG (Denominazione di Origine Controllata e Garantita) classification is the top tier for Italian wine classifications. It controls production methods and wine quality. Strict rules oversee the production of DOCG designated wines, including allowed varietals, winemaking procedures, barrel and bottle aging methods, grape ripeness and limits on grape yields during harvest. DOCG wines are also required to be officially tasted. DOCG bottles have numbered government seals across the neck of the bottle to prevent forgery.

Barolo is best when it has some time to settle down. This is a wine that has a decadent structure with notes of rose, berries, and spices that play off of a difficult to define note.
