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 2007 Reyna Nebbiolo (Barbaresco)

Reyna is a top-notch Barbaresco and this vintage delivers extra soft and supple smoothness followed by dark concentration and excellent intensity. There are so many aromatic descriptors here: espresso, black fruit, licorice, root beer, tar, tobacco and more. Drink from 2015–2020.

Michele Chiarlo 2006 Cerequio Nebbiolo (Barolo)
- Online Exclusive
- $100
This edition of the prized Cerequio Barolo by Michele Chiarlo flaunts its own unique personality with immediate aromas of white cherry, red apple, tar, licorice powder and root beer. It’s a polished, squeaky- clean wine with a long finish that seems more buoyant and vertical compared to past vintages.

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 2007 Cerequio Nebbiolo (Barolo)
- $104
Michele Chiarlo’s Cerequio is one of the important wines that defines Barolo, past and present. This historic bottle offers consistency and longevity thanks to its aromas of spice, cola, red fruit, cigar box and licorice. In keeping with Nebbiolo tradition, it offers a tight, streamlined feel.

Michele Chiarlo 2005 Cerequio Nebbiolo (Barolo)
You cannot help but love the luscious nose of this beautiful wine. Cerequio opens with inviting aromas of dark chocolate, creamy vanilla, spice and bright fruit. It’s soft and opulent in the mouth with thick tannins and a finely polished finish. Wait to drink it in 2018–2025 and serve it at an important meal. Bravo.

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.
