Seghesio Barbera d’ Alba (2005) Piemonte


Brothers Aldo and Riccardo Seghesio, who produce solid Barolo’s on their Monforte estate, miss the mark with their entry-level Barbera d’ Alba. The wine, which is aged in stainless, has a harsh edge that could be softened with some oak aging. A better choice from this winemaker would be their “La Chiesa” Barbera d’ Alba which receives twelve months of aging in new oak barriques.
