Description

Michele Chiarlo’s Il Principe is Langhe Nebbiolo built from serious dirt: vineyards in Barbaresco itself plus the sandy hills of Vezza d’Alba in the Roero. Hand-harvested fruit, ten days on the skins, then a minimum of twelve months split between steel, wood, and bottle. The 2020 lands at 14 percent with silky tannins and none of the Barolo invoice. This is the smart way into Nebbiolo. Weeknight friendly, company worthy.
