Barbera d’Asti Superiore Le Orme 2007

Antonio Galloni 88
The estate’s 2007 Barbera d’Asti Superiore Le Orme is a mid-weight offering with good definition and focus in its perfumed red berries. This refined, subtle wine offers good balance in an approachable, feminine style.
Anticipated maturity: 2009-2012.

Gavi Le Marne 2008

Antonio Galloni 87
Chiarlo’s 2008 Gavi Le Marne is pretty in its suggestions of flowers and white peaches. This crisp, refreshing Gavi offers good length as well as generosity that carries through to the clean finish. Anticipated maturity: 2009-2011.

Barolo Cerequio 2005
Score: 91

Strawberry and light vanilla aromas lead to a full body, with firm, chewy tannins and woody vanilla character. But this is slightly tough. Best after 2013. 1,500 cases made. –JS

Barbaresco Asili 2006
Score: 92

Shows plum and raisin aromas, with hints of black licorice. Full-bodied, with chewy tannins and a long finish. Powerful for the vintage. Best after 2012. 370 cases made. –JS
