The 2016 Barbaresco Reyna represents a blend of fruit from various vineyard sites. The Michele Chiarlo estate owns seven hectares of Nebbiolo in Barbaresco, and this wine is conceived as an expression of a grape, rather than any one particular vineyard site. In fact, the wine is classic Barbaresco, with fine fruit flavors followed by slightly more accessible or silky tannin (when compared to Barolo), making it a great pairing with a grilled sirloin.

Menthol and eucalyptus aromas and flavors mark this intense red, picking up cherry, plum and sweet spice notes as this builds to a lingering finish. Dusty tannins and a cocoa accent line the aftertaste. Best from 2023 through 2036. 2,000 cases made, 500 cases imported.??–BS??Region: Italy / Piedmont / Barbaresco Select to Add
