Barbaresco MICHELE CHIARLO Reyna 2005

For us, the vineyard is a living thing, a life that we want to experience.

Tradition and discipline. Lightness and passion. Care for the landscape, art and community. Sustainability and experimentation. With a pop art stroke and a carefree touch.

Since 1956, Michele Chiarlo has been vinifying the essence of Piedmont, loving and developing the most incredible wine region in the world. We grow 110 hectares of vineyards between Langhe, Monferrato and Gavi, the finest crus while fully respecting the ecological criteria, the terroir and their expression.

I convinced my father to enrol me in the oenological school of Alba on one condition only: to always be promoted.
