Why You'll Love It
Chardonnay with a distinctly Piedmontese accent. Fruit and freshness come from stainless steel, minerality from amphora and a little richness from French oak. Balanced, textured and an excellent match for fish or roast poultry.
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% Chardonnay from a west-facing 0.8-hectare parcel in Barbaresco, on limestone-clay soil. Hand-harvested fruit matures for nine to ten months in a combination of stainless steel, clay amphorae and small French oak barrels, followed by at least six months in bottle.
