Readers looking for a well-balanced Barbera made in a contemporary style will want to check out the estate’s 2006 Barbera d’Alba. This plump, generous red is packed with super-ripe dark fruit, graphite and spices, with an additional dimension of sweetness that comes from the few months the wine spends in French oak. Drink this engaging red over the next few years. Anticipated maturity: 2008-2011. Proprietor Giuliano Corino makes terrific wines from his holdings throughout La Morra.
