Maybe Altesino? I haven’t tried it but believe it is a good wine. I don’t think 2014 was a great year for Brunello though. 2010, 2015 and (I think) 2016 are very good years. If you can find a 2010 Casanova di Neri Tenuta Nuova or 2010 Valdicava Brunello I’d recommend trying again. There are a lot of good Brunello’s. I will say the last 2 bottles I had of 2010 Valdicava went bad, which was very disappointing. They were stored in a wine fridge so I had to buy them that way.
Chianti Classico is good with pasta / red sauce but you’re right, it’s pretty light.
I’m not a fan of Barbera but it’s all personal taste.
