Cortese’s 2017 Barbera d'Alba is a drop-dead gorgeous beauty. Plump, racy and exuberant, the 2017 is a gorgeous wine to drink now and over the next few years. The purity of the fruit really stands out, while aging in steel and cement helps retain finesse and overall freshness. (Antonio Galloni, Vinous, September 2018) $22.00
