Awesome Barbera. Silky and Balanced, with acidity and minerality.

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

Best shape ever for a 2010 barbera in my recent experience. Rich and balanced. Paired with steak and presented perfectly. So happy.

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.
