  8/24/2023 - Stanrocks Likes this wine: 90 Points

  Piemonte Visit ... end of summer 2023; 8/23/2023-9/25/2023 (Piemonte Alba area): Nose is a bit toasted, with reduction, a bit "matured", meaning you can sense the oak influence here, Morassina btw is the only wine at Cortese with the Chard, that undergoes a bit of new oak, barriques aging.
  
  Still it is never overwhelming, and the lift is here still, with black berries, a bit wild, gamey, savory nose of dried tomatoes and oak flavors.
  
  palates is vibrant, med + length, and juicy, fresh, with lots of fruit, it is salivating and linear, a quite well made expression of Barbera, no sign of age here, just a linear savory salivating finish.
