Score 88/100 · Drink 2019-2023, Monica Larner, Wine Advocate, Jun 2019
The 2017 Barbera d'Alba is a blend of fruit from the various vineyards managed by this estate. The wine is aged only five months, and you will appreciate the resultant freshness and brightness. There is a lot of tonic fruit in this Barbera, and again, it is never weighted down. The idea here is to make an easy-drinking and approachable wine to pair with pasta or simple meat dishes.

Soft curves and racy, voluptuous fruit make the 2017 Barbera d'Alba a terrific choice for drinking now and over the next few years. Dark red cherry, raspberry and spice are all pushed into the foreground in this supple, inviting Barbera from Cordero di Montezemolo.
