The organic Cordero di Montezemolo 2020 Barbera d'Alba Superiore Funtanì is a darkly concentrated red wine with a rich bouquet and a savory side that recalls leather and cured tobacco. Its fruity side shows baked plum and dried blackberry. This is an especially enriched red wine with ample textural power from 70-year-old vines in La Morra's Annunziata. It reveals more complexity and freshness as it opens in the glass. Production is 9,000 bottles.

This is more deep and complex with crushed dark and blue berries, violets, licorice and moist bark. A little earthy, too. Polished and silky with medium to full body and juicy acidity. Racy and tense. Drink now.

Lush, featuring plum, blackberry, chocolate, vanilla and spice flavors. Smooth and almost seamless, with terrific freshness, supple tannins and a long, spice-tinged aftertaste. Drink now through 2028. 500 cases imported.
