2023 Cipressi Nizza, Michele Chiarlo, Piedmont
Formerly labelled as a Barbera d’Asti, this wine and the Nizza DOCG is finely getting the recognition it deserves. The Cipressi is a 100% Barbera from several low yielding vineyards. It is surprisingly elegant with aromas of violet, sweet blackberries and spice. The palate is round with a soft silky texture, tied up nicely with a fresh citrus twist on the finish. A satisfying wine that will pair well with an array of cured meats and pasta dishes.
