About Cipressi 2018 Barbera Nizza DOCG Michele Chiarlo
The Cipressi Nizza gets its name from the Cipressi trees that are atop one of the hillsides next to the chateau. 100% Barbera from the province of Asti. This wine is aged one year in oak barrels and 10 months in the bottle. The 2015 was Wine Enthusiast Magazine's #1 wine on its Top 100 Wines of 2018!
The Wine Spectator scored this 2018 90 points saying "This supple red is packed with fresh blackberry, blueberry and violet flavors, supported by a firm yet pliant structure. This is persistent, expanding on the finish. Drink now."
The Wine Advocate scored this 90 points saying "The 2018 Nizza Cipressi is a generous and abundant red wine that shows the latitude and versatility of the native Piedmont Barbera grape. It opens to dark intensity and sweet aromas of blackberry, plum and black currant. Soft tones of cinnamon and baking spice also appear. The only thing missing is the bracing acidity that this grape is known for. Instead, the Chiarlo team has finessed softer and more polished results."
