Barbera d'Asti That Captures the Heart of Piedmont at an Everyday Price
Michele Chiarlo is one of Piedmont's most respected producers, and Le Orme — whose name translates as "the footsteps" or "legacy" — is the estate's flagship Barbera d'Asti. A blend from all four of Chiarlo's Barbera estates in the Nizza area, including the iconic La Court estate, it is grown in Astian sands rich in lime and microelements. Fermented in stainless steel with 10 days of skin maceration, then aged 3 months in large French oak casks before bottling, Le Orme delivers the classic Barbera profile: deep color, fresh red fruit, bright acidity, and effortless drinkability.
Winemaker Notes
Elegant and intense, with notes of fresh mature red fruit — cherry and currant — and the vibrant acidity that defines great Barbera d'Asti. The Barbera grapes grow in light-colored Astian sands rich in lime and microelements, yielding the dark, rich color typical of the variety. Aged in large French oak casks for 3 months, then stainless steel and bottle for a total of 16 months before release.
