Michele Chiarlo Il Principe Langhe Nebbiolo

The Nebbiolo for Il Principe come from vineyards in Barbaresco and Vezza d’Alba in the hillsides of the Roero area.

Following fermentation, the Nebbiolo is left to refine in large vats for a year. Il Principe showcases typical varietal flavors and characteristics, as well as the influence of the Roero terroir.

It is intense yet harmonious with good structure and complexity. The tannins are fine, and the finish is round and long. Pairs well with: Pasta with ragu. Turkey, medium aged cheese
