Gioso Barolo is a renowned Italian red wine hailing from the Piedmont region. Barolo wines are made from the Nebbiolo grape variety, known for its bold and complex characteristics. Gioso Barolo is no exception, offering a rich and full-bodied experience. On the nose, Gioso Barolo presents intense aromas of ripe red fruits such as cherry and raspberry, accompanied by floral notes of rose petals and violets. These fragrances are often complemented by hints of earthy truffles and spices like licorice and cinnamon. When it comes to the palate, Gioso Barolo showcases a firm tannic structure that gives the wine its age-worthy nature. The flavors are deep and concentrated, with a dominant presence of dark fruits like blackberry and plum. Alongside the fruit, you may also detect secondary notes of leather, tobacco, and dried herbs, adding further complexity to the wine. Gioso Barolo is known for its excellent aging potential, allowing it to develop even more intricate flavors and a smoother texture over time. It is recommended to decant this wine before serving to fully appreciate its nuances. Pair it with hearty dishes such as braised meats, game, or aged cheeses for a delightful culinary experience.

Michele Chiarlo Il Principe Nebbiolo d'Alba is a structured red wine produced from grapes sourced from Barbaresco and Roero. The harvest is carried out manually, before the grapes are sorted, crushed and transferred to steel tanks. The vinification involves a warm fermentation with maceration on skins. The wine is matured for around 12 months in a combination of steel, wood and bottle prior to its release. This is an approachable and more affordable alternative to the wines of Barolo and Barbaresco.
