Giuseppe Cortese Barbera d'Alba 2025

Get to know: Giuseppe Cortese Barbera d'Alba 2025

Barbera from the Alba hills of Piedmont - a juicy Italian red wine from a family estate on Barbaresco's Rabajà hill.

Tasting Note

Sour cherry and ripe plum come first, with a dash of spice behind. The acidity is bright and mouth-watering, and the tannins stay soft. It's medium-bodied and easy to drink, with a juicy finish that has you thinking about what to cook alongside it.

Top food pairings:

  • Margherita pizza with fresh basil
  • Sausage and tomato pasta
  • Spaghetti with garlic, chilli and tomato
Kate Says

"I'd open this one on pizza night. Barbera has a bright, juicy streak that works well with tomato sauce, and this comes from a family who've been making wine in Piedmont since 1971. Easy to like, and it's a good one to take to a friend's."
