Barbera Nizza Cipressi di Michele Chiarlo

The Barbera Nizza Cipressi di Michele Chiarlo is produced in Castelnuovo Calcea since 1996. The 6-hectare vineyard is composed of plants of different ages; we are between 230 and 280 meters above sea level, on soil called 'sabbie astiane', consisting of marly clay-limestone of marine sedimentary origin, with a good presence of silt and sand, rich in trace elements, especially magnesium. The Barbera Nizza Cipressi di Michele Chiarlo was a vintage characterized by a climate that followed the classic seasons, without meteorological anomalies, allowing the very healthy grapes to reach a perfect and uniform ripening in the classic times (harvest 25-30 September). The vinification takes place in steel tanks with 10/12 days of maceration and gentle wetting of the cap with the "shower" system; the malolactic fermentation also takes place in steel. The aging lasts for a minimum of 18 months: 12 months in large barrels and the following 6 in bottles.
