Michele Chiarlo Barbera d'Asti La Court

In the glass

Aroma: red fruit, mature cherry, raspberry, tobacco

Palate: full fruit, savoury, round

From the La Court cru acquired in 1995, Chiarlo's flagship Barbera shows red fruit, mature cherry, raspberry and sweet tobacco over a full-bodied, harmonious palate with a savoury, round finish.

What it pairs with

• Agnolotti del plin
  Barbera's acidity cuts the rich meat filling.
• Risotto with meat sauce
  The wine's structure carries the savoury rice.
• Guinea fowl
  Round Barbera frames the delicate game.

History
