The Barbaresco Reyna is a fresh and balanced expression of Nebbiolo. It opens to a pretty bouquet of blue flowers and lilac backed by wild cherry and cassis. Background aromas include aniseed, tar and licorice root. The wine is tight and structured in terms of mouthfeel with a bit of snap or crunch on the young tannins.
Lots of dried fruit with intense strawberries, figs and flowers on the nose. Full-bodied with lots of chewy tannins and rich fruit. Big wine. Drink in 2023 and onwards.
This opens with aromas of scorched earth, truffle, ripe black-skinned fruit and new leather. The smooth, chewy palate is loaded with personality, doling out fleshy Morello cherry, licorice and a hint of salted game alongside pliant, fine-grained tannins. Drink 2023–2029. KERIN O’KEEFE
Menthol and eucalyptus aromas and flavors mark this intense red, picking up cherry, plum and sweet spice notes as this builds to a lingering finish. Dusty tannins and a cocoa accent line the aftertaste. Best from 2023 through 2036
Reyna is a Barbaresco DOCG that fully represents the style of Michele Chiarlo. A wine that comes from carefully managed vineyards, respecting the environment, with particularly low yields and a skilful use of wood during maturation. Reyna in fact rests for no less than 18 months in large casks and then completes its ageing period by waiting at least another 6 months in the cellar, in the bottle. This is a very pleasant Barbaresco, perfect to accompany a formal dinner. In the glass it has a beautiful ruby red colour with garnet hues. The nose is decidedly typical, with notes of rose and musk followed by hints of cherry jam and ripe berries. An elegant finish dominated by tertiary notes of tobacco, coffee, cocoa, leather and humus closes the picture. In the mouth it is rich and pleasantly structured. Elegant in its tannins and long, indeed very long, in the finish.
It was 1956 when Michele Chiarlo founded his winery in Calamandrana, in the heart of the Asti area, and began producing his first Barolo in Barolo in 1958. Strictly family-run, the winery developed thanks to important purchases made in the best areas of the Langhe, including Cerequio and Cannubi. Today, Michele Chiarlo can count on an estate of around 110 hectares under vine, of which 60 are owned and the remaining 50 under long-term leases. Overall production exceeds one million bottles per year, but unlike many companies that have lost their strong family connotation over time, Michele Chiarlo, his sons and grandsons are always in full control of production. Today, the challenge is to achieve full sustainability. A goal that has been pursued since the 1990s, when the first applications of integrated pest management, selective pesticides and other natural practices began.
