Michele Chiarlo Nizza Cipressi 2023

Michele Chiarlo Nizza Cipressi 2023 is a modern expression of Barbera from one of Piedmont’s most prestigious areas for the grape, Nizza. It combines the variety’s natural vibrancy and freshness with a deeper, more structured character that reflects the quality of the appellation. Named for the cypress-lined landscape around the estate, it carries both regional identity and the elegance that has made Michele Chiarlo a benchmark producer in Piedmont.

Tasting Notes
In the glass, it typically shows a vivid ruby-red colour with youthful purple highlights. The nose is generous and inviting, with ripe cherry, blackberry and plum layered with hints of spice, violet and subtle herbal notes. On the palate, Barbera’s hallmark freshness comes through immediately, balanced by juicy dark fruit, lively acidity and smooth, polished tannins. The wine is medium- to full-bodied in style, with good depth and a clean, lingering finish. While approachable in its youth, it also has the structure to develop nicely over the next few years.

Production
Sourced from vineyards in Piedmont’s Nizza zone, where Barbera reaches some of its finest and most expressive form, this wine benefits from a terroir of rolling hills, well-exposed slopes and soils that help concentrate flavour while preserving freshness. The 2023 vintage would typically be harvested by hand at optimal ripeness, with vinification designed to protect the grape’s fruit purity and natural acidity. Careful fermentation and ageing help round out the texture while keeping the wine’s vibrant personality intact.

Food & Serving
This is an excellent match for rich pasta dishes, tomato-based sauces, roasted poultry, grilled meats and aged cheeses. It also works beautifully with truffle dishes and traditional Piedmontese cuisine. Serve at around 16–18°C, and consider a short decant if drinking young to let the aromas open up.
