Michele Chiarlo Le Orme Barbera d’Asti 2014 

Medium dark ruby color. Nose of flowers, berries, spices and earth. There is on the palate an enjoyable acidity paired with fine bitterness, there is fruit and spices notes and this calls for food as it’s then that this wine shines! From deli meats to pastas or pizza, this will pair well. A wine that I like to bring over when visiting friends or family. Good+ (88)

Chevalier de Dyonis Pinot Noir Dealu Mare 2014

Very light ruby color. Subtle nose of cherries and strawberry fruit, then earth and spices notes. Very light on the palate on the first sips, it narrowed over time on a rustic finish, helping filling the mid-palate that was a little thin. Still, this is enjoyable and fresh. We have to remeber that 10$ Pinot is hard to find! Good (87)

Available in SAQ stores for 10,95$ (Code SAQ : 00554139)

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)
