  Michele Chiarlo - Barbaresco, D.O.C.G.
The name "Barbaresco," as a geographic location, is quite ancient and may have been taken from the wine called "Barbaritium" in Livy's annals of Roman history.
Barbaresco's vineyards lie on steep, southwesterly exposed hillsides, the boundaries of which were set forth in 1908 but not officially recognized by D.O.C. law until 1966; in 1980, the D.O.C.G. denomination was added.
The soils are rich in zinc, copper and boron deposits, and are the principal factor in the differences in character between Barbaresco and Barolo.

During the 13th century it was called "nebiul" and original documents show that it was cultivated as far as the Pinerolo area (more than 50 miles apart), therefore demonstrating that this was the pre-eminently piedmontese vine, since "moscato" and "barbera" would have arrived later on, between the 16th and the 17th century.

All’interno della Cascina Rizzi uno spazio particolare hanno i quattro ettari della Vigna Fondetta, che forma una sorta di anfiteatro naturale, da cui deriva un cru di Barbaresco cui Ernesto – George Dellapiana tiene particolarmente, e a ragione.

Naturalmente i colori, rosso granato intenso, con una leggerissima nota aranciata, limpidi, brillanti, non sono quelli impenetrabili, foschi, lutulenti e tristi dei “Barbaresco” mammut che hanno fatto tendenza, stravolgendo e violentando l’idea stessa del Barbaresco, in questi ultimi anni.
