Why You'll Love It
A proper Barbaresco with a little more immediacy than the Rabajà cru. Lifted roses and juicy red fruit are grounded by savoury herbs, fresh acidity and fine tannins. Great with roast poultry, mushrooms or slow-braised beef.
About The Producer
Giuseppe Cortese is a benchmark family estate in Barbaresco, founded in 1971 when Giuseppe began bottling the Nebbiolo grown by generations of his family in the celebrated Rabajà vineyard. The cellar stands directly above Rabajà, with other parcels on the neighbouring Trifolera slopes. Pier Carlo Cortese oversees winemaking, favouring spontaneous fermentation, restrained extraction and large, seasoned Slavonian oak rather than conspicuous new wood. Gabriele represents the estate internationally and Tiziana leads hospitality. The result is precise, traditionally made Piedmont wine whose perfume, freshness and sense of place have earned a devoted following.
Winemaking Information
100% Nebbiolo from south- and south-west-facing parcels around the Barbaresco cellar, including Rabajà and Trifolera. Vines average around 35 years on mineral-rich limestone and clay. Hand picked, fermented for approximately 30 days, matured 18 months in seasoned Slavonian oak casks of 17–25hl, then at least six months in bottle. The 2023 vintage is independently listed at 14% ABV.
