RP 90 Robert Parker's Wine Advocate
The 2018 Nizza Cipressi is a generous and abundant red wine that shows the latitude and versatility of the native Piedmont Barbera grape. It opens to dark intensity and sweet aromas of blackberry, plum and black currant. Soft tones of cinnamon and baking spice also appear. The only thing missing is the bracing acidity that this grape is known for. Instead, the Chiarlo team has finessed softer and more polished results.
