Barbera d'Alba
DOC Barbera d'Alba is an Italian denomination from the Piedmont region, recognized as DOC since May 27, 1970. Only red wines harvested within the production area defined by decree are entitled to the DOC Barbera d'Alba . The authorized vineyards are located in the province of Cuneo. The 2,500 hectares of Barbera d'Alba vineyards authorize annual production of around 44,000 hectoliters.

Barbera red wine is subject to less stringent specifications than Barbera d'Alba superiore, mainly relating to ageing and alcoholic strength. It is generally ruby red with garnet highlights, with a winey, intense and distinctive nose, and a powerful, slightly tannic palate. Barbera d'Alba can be aged for 5 - 7 years, and is similar in quality to a Barolo. Barbera d'Alba is considered one of Italy's finest Barbera appellations. Wines from producers such as Renato Ratti and Ornella Corregia seem to confirm this reputation.

"Lots of blueberries as well as bright lemons and orange peel. Light to medium-bodied body with lots of orange marmalade and watermelon flavors. Fine tannins and a very fruity but still quite tasty finish. Drink now." (James Suckling 2019) A most seductive Barbera!

Notes : Robert Parker 90/100, Wine Spectator 90/100
"Barbera d'Alba Conca Tre Pile 2006 marries wild fruit with a firm, calssic structure. Red cherries, flowers, a touch of mineral and licorice stretch out on a polished finish. This precise, fine Barbera is a sure bet for thrilling drinking for many years to come". (Robert Parker - Wine Advocate October 2009)
