Michele Chiarlo 2006 Cerequio Riserva Nebbiolo (Barolo)
- Cellar Selection
- Online Exclusive
- $103
An exciting flagship wine from one of the best producers in Piedmont, this is dark, inky and penetrating. It offers beautifully intense aromas of cassis, dried forest berry, ginger, cola, leather, and cedar. On the palate, it shows an incredibly silky and long quality. Hold for 10–20 years.

Michele Chiarlo 2001 Riserva Triumviratum Nebbiolo (Barolo)
- Cellar Selection
The name Triumviratum is difficult to pronounce and impossible to read on the label. No worries: this is amazing wine and that’s all you need to know. It delivers an endless parade of aromas that span from black currant and licorice to leather, ginger, cured meat and Bresaola. The mouthfeel is compact, and extraordinarily intense. Drink after 2015.

Michele Chiarlo 2004 Triumviratum Riserva Nebbiolo (Barolo)
- Cellar Selection
- Online Exclusive
- $117
Important and sophisticated, this has aged gracefully over the years. The style is bold and modern and you can feel the soft, oak-derived tannins and the complimentary fruit tannins that give this wine incredible structure and staying power. The bouquet is redolent of ripe fruit, leather, spice, black cherry and pressed violet.

Michele Chiarlo 1998 Brunate Nebbiolo
- Cellar Selection
- $81
From one of the top vineyard sites in Barolo, Michele Chiarlo produces an elegant wine. Aromas of dried raisins and figs follow through with flavors of fig jelly and tarry fruits along with great, ripe acidity. Despite the elegance, it can still pack a punch.

Michele Chiarlo 2003 Cerequio Nebbiolo (Barolo)
- Online Exclusive
- $90
An interesting nose of raspberry truffle, vanilla, road tar and wax. On the palate the flavors proved slightly less intense, but stayed the course, and the wine showed none of the hollow middle of some 2003 Barolos. The finish was medium long. A wine to cellar for a few years, and a fine effort.

Michele Chiarlo 2006 Reyna Nebbiolo (Barbaresco)
- $40
Here’s a wine that holds its own in a ranking of top Nebbiolos. There’s depth and great promise of fruit here, which is wrapped within folds of vanilla, ginger, cinnamon and dusty mineral. The mouthfeel is plush and velvety and the wine ends with tart but succulent tannins. It will drink beautifully for five-plus years.

Michele Chiarlo 2004 Cerequio Nebbiolo (Barolo)
- Cellar Selection
This extraordinary vintage of Cerequio offers impressive harmony and balance. Every element is in place and the wood and spice notes blend seamlessly with red currant and licorice. The intensity of the wine is also noteworthy as is its firmness and the powerful impact it makes.

Michele Chiarlo 2004 Cannubi Nebbiolo (Barolo)
What sets this austere Barolo apart is harmony and balance. Good climatic conditions and expert winemaking converge to produce a wine with intensity, personality and persistency. Lingering aromas include wild berries, white mushroom and violets and the wine packs dense structure and power on the close. Drink after 2012.
