G.D. Vajra Langhe Rosso 2014

Medium ruby color. Nose of flowers, red berries, earth, then sweet spices. You can also feel freshness and a light bitterness coming out of the aromas. Same profile on the palate with a good acidity level, a fine and enjoyable bitterness on the finish, but the fruit is so chewy and tasty and makes this wine highly drinkable. I found it better at bottle opening as it was more crisp after some time. Enjoy it now of after a short cellaring time. Very good (89)

Michele Chiarlo Le Orme Barbera d’Asti 2013 

Dark ruby color. Nose of black and red berries, lot of spices notes, some earth and stays fresh. Fruit loaded on the palate with again spices and a touch of bitterness. Acidity brings freshness and paired with its structure, it allows this wine to be paired with a lot of dishes. One of my favorite wines when I go visit family and friends, especially when I don’t know what we’re eating. Good+ (88)
