Michele Chiarlo : Cannubi 2019

The finesse and creaminess of a Piedmont wine

The property

The fame of the eponymous estate Michele Chiarlo has been written since 1956, when this oenologist decided to create his own estate and produce great wines from Piedmont.

His ambition? To enhance the terroirs and grape varieties of Piedmont and reveal their unique personality through a constant quest for excellence and custom-made vinification.

Located in the village of Calamandrana, within the Barolo appellation, the Michele Chiarlo estate produces wines recognized for their inimitable style, harmoniously combining aromatic complexity with supple and silky tannins.

The vineyard

The Michele Chiarlo estate watches over a mosaic of vineyards spread over 110 hectares, constituting a real treasure of the Langhe, in the north of Italy.

The wine

This Barolo Cannubi from Michele Chiarlo has been produced since 1990 from a vineyard of about one hectare. Listed since 1752, Cannubi is the oldest Italian Cru, whose altitude, exposure, soils and climate are optimal conditions for producing iconic wines. This south-southwest facing terroir is planted on a soil composed of limestone marls and sand, rich in iron and magnesium.

Grape variety

This Cannubi 2019 from Michele Chiarlo is a 100% nebbiolo.
