2020 Michele Chiarlo Barbaresco Faset 2020 1500mL

Michele Chiarlo, the iconic winemaker of Barolo Michele Chiarlo has played a key role in the production of Italian fine wines and the international recognition of the Barolo appellation. His story as a wine producer began in 1956. From early on, he was convinced that the emancipation of the Piedmont hill has to be found in quality wines that highlight the greatest terroirs. In 1988, he bottled his first Cru of Barolo. Since then, he has never stopped fighting for this appellation and its great wines. During his career, Michele Chiarlo has always followed his father's advice: "to be patient, make sacrifices but buy only vineyards in important positions". This led him to purchase the most prestigious crus in the Piedmont, in Barolo but also in Barbaresco. Faset is among the most recognised areas of Barbaresco. The cru used to belong to the Conti Cocito di Neive in the 1900s. Now it is divided between various owners. The south facing vineyards form a large and steep slope, with the west side facing towards the Tanaro River. The parcel from which Michele Chiarlo's Barbaresco Faset is produced covers only 1ha of vines and is located on the top of the hill. The 2020 Vintage: Faset 2020 is charasterized by a very expressive nose with notes of dried rose petals, small red fruits and an elegant hint of minerals combined with fine spices. It has a great structure, elegant and welcoming with minerality and the dense texture of fine tannins.
