Michele Chiarlo 2020 Chiarlo Tortoniano Barolo 750 mL SGWS butterscotch and sage leaf emanate

butterscotch and sage leaf emanate from the glass

There is terrific uplift and vibrancy in this wine

with a slightly creamy texture giving way to subtle chalky notes and a very pleasing finish

while modest tannins add a touch of grip to balance things out

Take the off ramp and wander along the very river banks where bourbon whiskey first flowed

Michele Chiarlo 2020 Chiarlo Tortoniano Barolo 750 mL SGWS butterscotch and sage leaf emanateTortoniano is named for the tortonian era (9 million years ago) soils in which the vines are planted, rich in microelements such as magnesium and manganese. Grape clusters are thinned and harvested up to 15 days later than usual for the fruit to attain a higher concentration. Temperatures are strictly controlled during vinification and the wine is aged for two years in large oak casks and one year in bottle before release.
