Michele Chiarlo Le Orme 16 Months Barbera D'asti 2015, Docg
Piedmont, Italy$15.95
Nose: Violets, dark cherries, herbs, and some baking spices
Palate: Bright acidity meets smooth texture. It’ll get your salivary glands going, but is still rich and mouth-filling. It’s a crunchy red fruit, cherry party with a hint of fennel and thyme, a dash of cinnamon, and maybe even a hint of cocoa. But don’t think about it too hard: this wine is all about pleasure.

Lupi Reali Montepulciano D' Abruzzo 2015
Abruzzo, Italy$11.95
Nose: Dark cherry fruit, blackberries, dark, dark fruits. Leather, black licorice, violets, and a bit of volatile acidity but it’s not bad. It smells like Italy, with a touch of herbaciousness - like a mentholyptus-infused cherry lozenge after a gourmet hot chocolate. Palate: Chocolatey dark fruit, cherries, herbs and mint. The palate totally follows the nose. It’s got a bit of acidity, and the tannins are non-invasive. It just tastes good - like leathery, violet licorice with dark fruit compote.
