Michele Chiarlo - Barbaresco Asili - 2013 | Italian Red Wine

The vintage was characterized by ideal weather that allowed the grapes to mature perfectly. Specifically, the Nebbiolo grapes in Barbaresco benefited from rain in August, followed by a very sunny September. These weather conditions let the grapes mature slowly, fully ripening in time for harvest at the normal period. This vintage of Barbaresco has a remarkable structure that is defined by an elegant nose with notes of fruit and sweet spices while silky tannins and a rich body balance out the mouth. It is, without a doubt, a great vintage that is ready to drink while still young but is also ideal for long ageing.
