At the Festa della Barbera in Castagnole delle Lanze, Stefano Chiarlo was awarded the Lanze Vino 2026 Prize, a recognition that for 46 years has celebrated those who have carried the name of this territory and its most iconic grape variety across the world.

The award also honours his long-standing work on Nizza DOCG, a denomination that has grown into one of the most authoritative expressions of Piedmontese Barbera.

"We have always believed in its extraordinary expressive potential," said Stefano. "In its ability to tell the story of Piedmont with authenticity, elegance and longevity."
