Michele Chiarlo Barbera d'Asti Superiore "Le Orme" 2007 - $13



Barbera d'Asti is from the famous Piedmont wine region of Italy. The color is dark red with sparkles of magenta. The nose is alive with currants. Vibrant and acidic with currents and tart berries flooding over the palate. Mild tannins and light in body. Long pleasant finish leaving perhaps a note of liquorish. A versatile wine with food.
Score: 4.1/5

Jessica: A bright, simple wine absent of bitter tones, this wine is very pleasant and light with dark fruit taste and a mild hint of tartness. Magenta in color, this wine is easy on the palate, non-puckery and mainly distinguished by its lightness. Went very well with poultry and cream sauce (we had Julia Child's chicken supremes). Delish.
Score: 4.6/5
