Since 1990, Chiarlo has been making far more interesting wines than in the past. The 1990 Barbera d'Asti Valle del Sole is more serious and ambitious then the 1990 Barbera d'Asti Superiore. It exhibits a creamier texture, riper, fuller-bodied fruit, fine richness, and spicy, new barrel notes. It should drink well for 5-8 years.
