The 2012 Barbera d'Alba Superiore Funtanì is named after a giant fountain found on the Cordero di Montezemolo property. This is a generous, soft and round expression of Barbera with dark fruit tones on the bouquet that segue to spice, tobacco and toasted chestnut. The bouquet is a little offbeat for Barbera, but the wine offers a cheerful and distinct personality nonetheless.
