Rated 95 – Blue flower, baking spice, new leather and ripe black-skinned fruit are some of the aromas you’ll get on this fragrant, engaging red. On the delicious, juicy palate, velvety tannins envelop mature Morello cherry, cinnamon and nutmeg while fresh acidity keeps it balanced and lifted. A salty mineral note lingers on the close. Drink throughout 2034. – Kerin O’Keefe

Varietal Barbera

For centuries now, the beautiful red grapes of the Barbera varietal have been grown in Italy, where they are prized for their unusual high acid content and low tannins, brought about by their thin skins. The Barbera grape varietal thrives in warmer climates, and has had some success overseas in the new world, where its strongly aromatic flavors of intense hedgerow fruits make it a favorite with wineries and wine drinkers looking for a grape which offers plenty of interesting characteristics. Interestingly, the differences between young and aged wines made from this varietal are quite significant, with younger bottles holding a plethora of berry flavors, including blueberry and raspberry notes, and oak aged wines made from the Barbera grape being much loved for their ability to become extremely complex and spicy, and picking up vanilla flavors from the wood they are barreled in.

Country Italy

There are few countries in the world with a viticultural history as long or as illustrious as that claimed by Italy. Grapes were first being grown and cultivated on Italian soil several thousand years ago by the Greeks and the Pheonicians, who named Italy 'Oenotria' – the land of wines – so impressed were they with the climate and the suitability of the soil for wine production. Of course, it was the rise of the Roman Empire which had the most lasting influence on wine production in Italy, and their influence can still be felt today, as much of the riches of the empire came about through their enthusiasm for producing wines and exporting it to neighbouring countries. Since those times, a vast amount of Italian land has remained primarily for vine cultivation, and thousands of wineries can be found throughout the entire length and breadth of this beautiful country, drenched in Mediterranean sunshine and benefiting from the excellent fertile soils found there. Italy remains very much a 'land of wines', and one could not imagine this country, its landscape and culture, without it.

Region Piedmont

Situated in the north-western part of Italy, the region of Piedmont is known worldwide and is highly respected for the quality of the wines produced there. Many of the most successful sub-regions in Piedmont produce many of the world's finest red wines, such as those made from the excellent Nebbiolo grape varietal in areas such as Barolo and Barbaresco. However, the historic wineries which typify this region use a relatively wide variety of grapes, including Dolcetto and Barbera for their red wines, which are typically aged and have a delightful velvety character. Piedmont isn't all about beautifully complex red wines, though, as it is also famed for high quality, elegant sparkling wines, notably the Asti wines made with the white Moscato grape. The region benefits from a range of terroirs which are often well expressed in the sparkling wines, and a wonderfully consistent climate ideal for vineyard cultivation.

Wine Enthusiast

“La Court” is a stunner of a Barbera! The nose is full of dark black fruits, sweet baking spices, mint and dried herbs. The wine's structure is beautiful with fine tannins and vibrant acidity around a core of dark cherries and blackberries. This is a Barbera for your cellar (2025–2032)

Wine Advocate

This wine shows a step up in elegance and finesse next to the fruity Nizza Cipressi. Instead, the Michele Chiarlo 2019 Nizza Riserva La Court boasts a composed personality with plum, dark fruit, earth and wild rose. This pretty wine is streamlined and tapered with a silky finish that imparts long-lasting flavors and freshness. Volume and ripeness are replaced here by length and consistency.

Vinous Media

The 2019 Nizza Riserva LaCourt from 45-year-old vines, saturates the palate with inky dark fruit, leather, smoke, licorice, tobacco, mocha and chocolate. La Court is fermented in oak uprights then aged in a combination of cask and smaller French oak barrels. I also tasted the 2011, a wine that has aged beautifully.

Wine Spectator

A polished, succulent version, this red features bright plum, blackberry and loam flavors, with spice and tobacco accents. Balanced, with a light grain of tannins on the trim finish. Drink now through 2027. 1,000 cases made, 300 cases imported.

James Suckling

Dark raspberries, sour cherries, oregano, nutmeg and roasted spices on the nose. It’s medium-to full-bodied with dense tannins and crisp acidity, ending slightly tart, with lots of sour cherries in the finish. Drink now.
