Founded in 1956 and covering nowadays a total area of 110 hectares of vineyards in three Piedmont areas (Langhe, Monferrato and Gavi), the Chiarlo style has always been devoted to the production of highly elegant and complex wines, offering excellent longevity. Among the red wines, the winery attaches particular importance to the Barbera d’Asti, a wine revolutionized in the 1970s by being the first to introduce malolactic fermentation. In the 1980s, Michele Chiarlo works tenaciously together with other prestigious producers to raise the level of the noble Barolo, making it less austere and with smoother tannins, maintaining intact its original characteristics and extraordinary longevity.
