Michele Chiarlo Barbera Grappa Bottle:12 The former is often madeMichele Chiarlo's Pals Barbera d'Asti is produced from vineyards grown in the southern part of Asti, where the soil is clayey and calcareous with a good sand content. This is Michele Chiarlo's coolest Barbera. A fruity, cherry scented wine with its ripe red berried fruit is a vibrant expression of the Barbera grape. Harmonious with great freshness, it has a clean and elegant finish.
