Michele Chiarlo was founded in 1956 by the sole and present owners, Michele and Giuseppina Chiarlo. Son of over seven generations of esteemed wine growers, Michele is today one of the most respected producers of the fine wines of Piedmont and a leading figure in its viticultural industry. Asili is a relatively new cru within the Barbaresco DOCG. It is said that the blue-grey calcareous marl and clay here contribute to the complexity of the wines here, along with their delicate and refined characters. Delicately perfumed, with characters of pure red fruits and gently aromatic, floral notes, supported by fine spices. Silky tannins frame a core of red berry fruits. Extremely charming, elegant and approachable.

Boroli Barolo Cerequio comes from one of La Morra’s most historic crus, a natural amphitheatre of Nebbiolo known for its warm, sheltered aspect and long reputation for producing refined, ageworthy Barolo. The Boroli family source fruit from premium parcels in this “Riviera delle Langhe” hillside, where clay-limestone soils with sandy veins and constant ventilation give ripe but balanced grapes with natural freshness. In the cellar, carefully selected bunches are destemmed and given a long maceration with submerged cap, before maturation in oak to shape structure while preserving site detail. In bottle, Cerequio typically shows clear ruby colour, bright cherry and strawberry, floral notes such as camomile and rose, and hints of spice, cedar and liquorice, wrapped in firm yet polished tannins and a long, savoury finish. This is Boroli’s La Morra statement: Barolo of poise and fragrance that drinks well in its first decade yet has the backbone to evolve gracefully in the cellar.

On the palate it is very vigorous, rich in extracts, with lively and pleasant tannins that are rounded through a skilful use of wood. A powerful, tantalizing wine with a great ageing potential.

Flavabom Vine Dried Shiraz delivers flavour with depth and concentration. Single vineyard, the vine-dried Shiraz grapes grown in the estate's soils, are the backbone to this intense style of this beautiful red. The integration of flavours, tannins and fruits, are hit with a judicious lashing of oak for a real flavour kick. Flavabom keeps its promise.

Immensely complex and powerful, this wine is from classic old vine Shiraz from the Barossa. Dense, concentrated fruit characters of blackberry and ripe plum are knotted around delicious vanillin oak.
