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

The kind of wine you’d want to serve or gift to leave an impression. A solid, smooth & very well balanced Italian red. Smooth on the nose - smoother on the palette. Mature red fruit with a soft touch from start to finish. Incredible glass with a red sauce meal but this can also stand alone. Just wow

Nice, very herbal nose w mineral. Taste is a little citrus - among the red fruit. Not as bold fruit as expegeded - but the more structure.
