The vineyards, trained using the Guyot system, enjoy optimal exposure between south-east and south-west, at an altitude of between 230 and 280 metres. The essence of the terroir lies in the \u003cstrong\u003eAstian sands\u003c\/strong\u003e, composed of clay-limestone marls of marine sedimentary origin. The presence of silt and the abundance of \u003cstrong\u003emicroelements such as magnesium\u003c\/strong\u003e give the soil a unique potential. These characteristics are reflected in the quality of the grapes, giving the wine a \u003cstrong\u003efresh softness\u003c\/strong\u003e that faithfully expresses the character of the territory.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eHow it is produced\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eAfter a rigorous manual harvest, vinification begins with fermentation in temperature-controlled steel tanks to preserve the integrity of the aromatic profile. This is followed by \u003cstrong\u003emaceration on the skins\u003c\/strong\u003e for ten to twelve days, managed with a shower system that ensures a balanced extraction. Once the malolactic fermentation is complete, the wine ages for twelve months in \u003cstrong\u003elarge oak barrels\u003c\/strong\u003e. The process is completed with a further rest until a total period of at least eighteen months is reached. This care in production defines an \u003cstrong\u003eelegant structure\u003c\/strong\u003e, capable of showcasing the Barbera grape at its best.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eHistory and curiosities\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe \u003cstrong\u003eNizza DOCG I Cipressi\u003c\/strong\u003e by Michele Chiarlo originates from the La Court Estate, acquired in 1995 and conceived as the true symbol of the denomination.
