Trent Mayers rated this wine as 88/100 with the following review:

Barbera is a lesser known wine from Piedmont that is ready to drink with no aging necessary. It has tannins in lower range and high acidity that make it wonderful with food. Expect some fruity dark cherry, sweet spices, and licorice from this red. Pairs beautifully with tomato based dishes with cheese like Chicken Parmesan with a side of pasta. Drink now or hold short term. 3.5+ stars out of 5.

A very deeply coloured wine in the category, ripe and fruity, zesty, and concentrated, quite a savoury and fruity example, one of the best from Chiarlo I've tasted. This punches far above its price point. Tasted December 2018.Value Rating: ***

Natalie's Review

Michele Chiarlo Le Orme Barbera d'Asti 2016, Piedmont D.O.C.G., Italy: Michele Chiarlo Le Orme 16 Mesi 2016 is a smokey full-bodied Barbera D'asti with intense layers of chary black fruit, mocha and toasty oak on the nose. On the palate there is juicy plum, ripe cherry, dark chocolate, sweet spice and black tea flavours matched with zesty acidity and supple tannins. Pair with rare meats.
