The elevated slopes of the Nizza DOCG (within the Barbera d'Asti region) are now being recognised as the premier region for the barbera wines of Piedmont. The wine produced there by the Chiarlo family is a clear and elegant expression of the grape - red fruit, mature cherry, raspberry and the sweet notes of tobacco, with complex, structured and impressive fresh softness and roundness, and a pleasing, savoury finish.

Made from Cortese grapes, it's our coolest Gavi! Lively and fresh, thanks to a balanced acidity. it's smooth, floral and fruity on the nose, harmonious, elegant and with great fragrance, and displays a pleasing roundness.
