About Cipressi 2019 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!
Wine Spectator scored this 92 points saying "This dense red is very tightly wound and racy, revealing blackberry and violet flavors that show accents of tamarind and roasted almond. Still a bit compact on the finish. Drink now through 2026."
James Suckling scored this 90 points saying "Plenty of energetic blackberry character to this 100% barbera, with a slightly steely edge growing through the palate. Bright acidity and minimal tannin. This is very much in-your-face, but it’s not aggressive."
The Wine Advocate scored this 90 points saying "The Michele Chiarlo 2019 Nizza Cipressi is a generous and abundant expression of Barbera with an inky dark color. The bouquet reveals blackberry, blackcurrant and lots of rich primary fruit. Cipressi is fermented in steel and aged in large oak casks for one year. The wine's texture is soft and plush, and you get that little kick of acidity that is characteristic of this versatile grape."
