  2010 ‘Asili’ Barbaresco, Michele Chiarlo

  £9500

  This is one of the great Barbaresco crus.  Asili is a prestigious and historic vineyard located at the top of a hill with a 360 aspect.  It produced majestic wines that have an elegance that can be attributed to the terroir.  The soils have a bluish colour due to the high content of magnesium and manganese.  Michele Chiarlo owns around 1 hectare of this famous cru.

  This 2010 Asili has an aristocratic elegance, ethereal, with notes of violet, red fruits and fine spices. The palate is complex and enchanting with silky tannins and a surprising length.

  1999 Barbaresco Tenuta Roncaglie, Poderi Colla – Magnum

  £16000

  Since 1880 the Roncaglie cru has been recognised as one of the best and most important vineyards for Barbaresco production. Poderi Colla’s Tenuta Roncaglia estate has eight hectares of Nebbiolo under vine, at an altitude of 240-280 metres and benefiting from a southern exposure. This enables the vines to produce clean, ripe fruit that’s hand-picked before being transported to Poderi Colla’s winery in Cascine Drago for vinification and maturation. Tenuta Roncaglia’s wines are some of the finest examples of Barbaresco around.

  This is a maturing magnum of Colla’s magnificent Tenuta Roncaglie Barbaresco.   Reaching its peak this wine has a blockbuster nose and powerful complex palate with immense structure and grip.   This is Nebbiolo at its finest – in a magnum!

  2010 Barbera La Court Vigna Veja Nizza, Michele Chiarlo *Limited Edition Presentation Case*

  £55000

  This special case contains 6 bottles and 1 Magnum of the 2010 Barbera La Court Vigna Veja Nizza

  This fascinating vineyard is located at the top of the highest hill of the La Court estate and has an exposure of 360 degrees surface area of the vineyard.  Set within a UNESCO World Heritage Site the vineyard that the grapes for this wine came from is only 1 hectare in size and was planted in 1964 so production is very limited and only in the best years.

  2010 was one such year producing an intense and concentrated Barbera.   The nose is elegant yet complex with notes of black fruits, black cherry, wild flowers and sweet spices.  These flavours flow into the palate which is like velvet, silky and fresh.  The classic Barbera acidity is integrated and allows the cassis and black fruit flavours to shine.   The finish is long and persistent.  This wine will improve and last for many years.   Drink now to 2035.

  This is great wine for Agnolotti with a roasted meat sauce, tagliolini with porcini, braised lamb and well-matured cheeses.

  The label for this special Riserva was created by Ugo Nespolo, one of the greatest exponents of Italian Pop Art.
