Michele Chiarlo Asili, Barbaresco DOCG, Italy 2022 Manincor spiced cinnamon and bay leaf

spiced cinnamon and bay leaf accents that take on richness toward zesty tannins

energized by a spicy topnote

but it would also fit into a medium to long-term drinking window

The wine's texture and tannins are equally plush

Nose: Wine to be left to decant in the glass for at least 2 hours to allow the hints of black cherry

Michele Chiarlo Asili, Barbaresco DOCG, Italy 2022 Manincor spiced cinnamon and bay leafAn evolved and complex wine with a lot of fresh leather and blood oranges, dried flowers and earthy tones. Firm on the palate, this has medium body and slightly dusty tannins balanced by fruit concentration and juicy acidity in the finish. Drinkable now but best from 2026. James Suckling
