2019 MICHELE CHIARLO CIPRESSI BARBERA D'ASTI SUPERIORE NIZZA DOCG
92 Points & #54 Top 100 of 2023 - Wine Spectator:
"This dense red is very tightly wound and racy, revealing blackberry and violet flavors that show accents of tamarind and roasted almond. Still a bit compact on the finish." - BS
93 Points - Wine Enthusiast:
"Deeply colored, this Barbera from Nizza is a true benchmark. The wine has aromas of black cherry, blackberry and plums with a touch of sweet and savory spice. The palate has a gentle and soft texture finishing with a bright acidity keeping the wine lifted and energetic." - JP (Mar 2023)
91 Points - James Suckling
"A pleasant barbera with fresh berry, cherry and pungent herb notes, as well as a hint of oak from its year in large casks. Medium-bodied with good balance and enticing barbera-style fruit and herb flavors. Drink now." (Aug 2023)
