2017 Michele Chiarlo Barolo Tortoniano

2017 Michele Chiarlo Barolo Tortoniano Tortoniano is named for the tortonian-era soils in which the vines are planted which contain a high percentage of magnesium and manganese. Grape clusters are thinned and are harvested somewhat later than usual so that the fruit attains higher concentration. Temperatures are strictly controlled during vinification and the wine is aged for two years in large oak casks and one year in bottle before release.
