A refreshing wine from the finest hillside vineyards in
Roero with intense aromas of mint and juniper and a
dry, salty and steely finish.
Producer Note
Michele Chiarlo is one of Piedmont's truly great winemakers. The family owns 60
hectares of vineyard in three of the classic growing areas - Langhe, Monferrato and
Gavi and have access to a further 50 hectares through long-term relationships with
their growers. Michele has insisted on total quality since his first vintage in 1956, an
ethos which his sons Stefano and Alberto adopt today. The Chiarlo style is highly
elegant, they make complex wines that can age for decades but above all reflect
their provenance - some of the finest vineyard sites in Piedmont.
Vineyard
These Arneis grapes are grown in the finest hillside vineyards in Roero, Piedmont. The
small hillside plot, is situated on south facing hillside on the left bank of the Tanaro
River, directly across from the Barbaresco zone, on the river's right bank. The Arneis is
a delicate variety that is now enjoying something of a revival having been rescued
from the verge of extinction. The vines thrive in the calcareous marl and sandy soils
with traces of clay, that are found in this carefully selected plot.
Winemaking
Fermentation took place in small temperature controlled stainless steel vats using
natural yeasts, preserving the aromatic and perfumed characteristics of this variety.
The wine rested in tank for a further four months prior to being bottled.
Tasting Note
