Nizza La Court Riserva DOCG

Michele Chiarlo's Nizza La Court Riserva DOCG is a single-varietal Barbera from Piedmont's prestigious Nizza zone, crafted to showcase the grape's natural structure and aging potential. The 2019 vintage displays a medium-full body with medium-high tannins and balanced acidity, offering ripe red and dark plum fruit on the nose, complemented by oak-derived spice and vanilla notes. Tertiary layers of earth, tobacco, and subtle leather emerge on the palate, reflecting careful oak maturation and the wine's capacity for further development. This is a serious, food-friendly expression suited to grilled meats, braised dishes, and aged cheeses.
