Barolo Cannubi Michele Chiarlo 2010
For us, the vineyard is a living thing, a life that we want to experience.
Tradition and discipline. Lightness and passion. Care for the landscape, art and community. Sustainability and experimentation. With a pop art stroke and a carefree touch.
I convinced my father to enrol me in the oenological school of Alba on one condition only: to always be promoted.
MICHELE CHIARLO
BAROLO CANNUBI
Cannubi is perhaps the most famous hill in Italy, the most celebrated and prestigious vineyard with the Barolo designation. Historically, it is the oldest Italian cru, given the recognition in 1752. Everything here is perfect: the altitude, exposure, the soils, the layout and microclimate result in a Barolo at the top of the designation.
Michele Chiarlo has owned the vineyard since 1989. Set in the historic heart of Cannubi (where the “ciabot” is found, or rather the ancient shack of Cannubi) on a steep slope which, under the guidance of the Swiss University of Changin, was terraced using turfed embankments. A delicate job that today guarantees the integrity of the land and fights against hydrogeological disruption.
The terraces of Cannubi, the first to be realised within the cru of Langa, contribute to improving the exposure of the grape vines and, combined with the maniacal attention given to the vineyards, produce a paradigmatic Barolo.
