Michele Chiarlo Barbaresco Faset 2019
$90
A dense, muscular and brooding style, this Barbaresco has sufficient ripe cherry, strawberry and currant fruit to match the beefy tannins. Delivers graphite, tobacco and a hint of eucalyptus, which add depth as this turns compact on the finish. Best from 2026 through 2043. 250 cases made, 50 cases imported.

Grape
Nebbiolo
Nebbiolo originated in Piedmont in Italy, where it remains the region's most important red grape. Its name comes from the Italian word nebbia, which means fog, a feature of the hills where the grape traditionally grows. Nebbiolo is thick-skinned, early-budding and late-ripening; it needs long periods of sunshine to ripen fully and is often planted on south- or southwest-facing hillsides for maximum exposure. The best examples come from calcareous marl vineyards, with some planted in sandy soils.
