Michele Chiarlo
Set in the majestic region of Piedmont, the winery Michele Chiarlo represents a perfect blend of classic elegance and a modern approach to winemaking. Founded with the aim of enhancing the characteristics of the cru of Barolo and other local denominations, this winery is a true tribute to the Piedmontese territory.
The history of Michele Chiarlo intertwines with that of the hills of Langhe, Monferrato, and Gavi, places where each vine tells an ancient story of hard work and passion. Here, the Nebbiolo, Barbera, and Moscato grapes find their ideal habitat, growing lushly and giving rise to wines that are true ambassadors of Piedmontese winemaking tradition. The Barolo Cerequio is the flagship of Chiarlo's production, a wine that represents a unique sensory experience, with its imposing structure and complex aromas that evoke notes of cherry, spices, and a hint of licorice.
The winery's production philosophy is based on an almost reverential respect for the territory and its traditions, but it does not shy away from a forward-looking perspective, adopting modern techniques that enhance the quality and expressiveness of the wines. Each bottle of Michele Chiarlo is a journey into the scents and flavors of Piedmont, an invitation to discover the richness of a generous land and to be captivated by its authenticity.

THE WINE
The Nizza Riserva 'La Court' by Michele Chiarlo is a Barbera d'Asti that originates in one of the most important crus of the entire Monferrato. This Barbera takes on particular characteristics, combining structure, longevity, and elegance, resulting in a dance of aromas and flavors that captivates from the very first moments. The carefully selected grapes mature in both barriques and large barrels for one year. A red with a material and full-bodied personality, with which Michele Chiarlo continues its lineage of excellence.
The company Michele Chiarlo was founded in 1956 by Michele Chiarlo in Calamandrana, in the heart of the Asti region, producing the first vintage of Barolo in 1958. In the following years, the winery, which is strictly family-run, developed significantly, thanks to important purchases made in the best areas of the Langhe, acquiring land in Cerequio and Cannubi in 1987 and 1989. Today, the company spans about 110 hectares of vineyards, of which 60 are owned and the remaining 50 are on long-term lease contracts, producing just over a million bottles. The management is entrusted to the sons of Michele, Alberto and Stefano: the former is responsible for commercial development, while the latter is the winemaker. In the vineyards, only indigenous grapes are cultivated, focusing on nebbiolo, barbera, cortese, and moscato; in the winery, the philosophy aims to enhance the characteristics that distinguish the grape variety contextualized in a specific terroir, seeking to use wood moderately for red wines, aging various crus according to traditional methods, in large barrels or tonneaux. A fundamental objective pursued by Michele Chiarlo is sustainability, a concept dear to the family since the 1990s when the first applications of integrated pest management, selective plant protection products, and further natural practices began. A virtuous path that renews over time: in 2007, a project recognized by the Ministry of the Environment began, aiming for total sustainability of the supply chain, all the way to the consumers' table. The Chiarlo are dynamic individuals, attentive to modern times, as evidenced by the ambitious hospitality project inaugurated with the “Palais Cerequio,” a hospitality facility ideal for those wishing to enjoy a few days of rest in a world where wine is the absolute protagonist. A total of about twenty excellent labels, from Barolo to Barbaresco, from Gavi to Barbera: bottles that, sip after sip and harvest after harvest, confirm their place among the best Italian wines.
