Michele Chiarlo Grandi Vini del Piemonte - Barolo, Barbaresco, Barbera, Gavi, Monferrato, Moscato

In 1995, at the "Costa delle Monache" estate in Agliano, emboldened by the good results achieved, we had our vineyards planted with international grape varieties (Merlot, Cabernet and others) so as to produce blended wines.

With the 2003 harvest, we decided to produce a new wine, called "Le Monache" Monferrato Rosso DOC, which is a blend of 70% Barbera, 20% Merlot and 10% Cabernet Sauvignon.

It is a wine that is fermented and refined in stainless-steel vats for 6 months, and then bottled.

It is a wine with resonant varietal fragrances and an elegant, fresh and extremely well-rounded taste.

We want ''Le Monache'' to represent a modern interpretation of the Piedmont vineyard, with a pleasant and elegant wine, easily matched to the widest range of dishes, at a moderate price.

It will come into the market in early April and will be presented in our Burgundian bottle, with an innovative and appealing packaging.
