Slightly more fruit and body thanks to warmer climates and riper grapes
The 2019 Giuseppe Cortese "Morassina" Barbera d'Alba is a stunning showcase of what happens when one of Piedmont's most acclaimed producers turns their attention to the region's beloved everyday grape. From the Cortese family's prized Morassina vineyard, this wine elevates Barbera from simple table wine to something approaching greatness - proof that in the right hands, this variety can rival its more famous Piedmontese siblings.
This Barbera bursts with the grape's characteristic bright acidity and juicy red fruit flavors, but there's so much more happening here. Expect layers of ripe cherry and plum enhanced by subtle spice and earthy undertones that speak to the vineyard's exceptional terroir. The Cortese family's careful winemaking shows in the wine's beautiful balance - it has enough structure and complexity to age gracefully, yet drinks gorgeously now with vibrant fruit and silky tannins.
About The Varietal
Nebbiolo is the prominent grape variety responsible for the high-quality red wines found in northwestern Italy, especially the robust reds of Barolo and Barbaresco. These wines are often characterized by a unique aroma that combines scents of "tar and roses." Nebbiolo wines typically exhibit moderate body, robust tannins, elevated acidity, and are highly sought after, often commanding premium prices.
Enjoy with grilled salmon or tuna, salty appetizers, or pizza night.
