Giuseppe Cortese Barbaresco Rabajà 2019
Nebbiolo | Piedmont, Barbaresco
🍇RABAJÀ RABAJÀ RABAJÀ 🇮🇹 The 2019 Barbaresco Rabaja is a powerful, austere wine that is going to need a number of years to come around. I very much like the energy, but readers should not plan on opening a bottle any time soon, as the 2019 is seriously tannic and shut down at the moment. It’s a gorgeous Barbaresco that shows the more elegant hand that defines the approach today.Antonio Galloni, Vinous 94 PointsThe Rabajà sees a jump in sophistication depth and length.

Nebbiolo | Piedmont, Barbaresco
🍇RABAJÀ RABAJÀ RABAJÀ 🇮🇹 I’ve seen some bolder Barbaresco from 2020. Cortese is fresh and energetic with a clear step up in fruit quality commensurate with the coin. This is so well-balanced and alive. Impressive gear from an estate that just shows so much consistency year after year. The blood orange is there backed by a darker, richer yet still transparent, elegant core of fruit. The dusting of tannin again beautifully weighted with extra depth and length. A sophisticated perfum

Cascina Luisin Barabaresco ‘Rabajà’ 2016
Nebbiolo | Piedmont, Barbaresco
Vinification for the ‘Rabaja’ is essentially the same as for ‘Paolin’, although there is more frequent racking during the first week or so of fermentation to gently extract the tannins. Maturation is in oak of varying capacity from 20hl to 50hl for 30 months. Very expressive bouquet with elements of cherry, anise, rose petal and tobacco. While still beautifully elegant and aromatic, this is certainly a more structured and coiled Barbaresco, with intense chalky tannins and a compensating

Vietti Barbaresco ‘Rabajà Riserva’ 2019

The 2019 Barbaresco Riserva Rabajà is a new wine from Vietti. It soars out of the glass with a captivating bouquet redolent of crushed flowers, herbs, mint and orange peel. The aromatics alone are beguiling. Nervy and classic in build, with gorgeous inner sweetness, the 2019 is utterly irresistible.Antoni Galloni, Vinous 95 PointsVietti worked in the Rabajà cru in the 1980s and has now returned to make this inaugural vintage of the latest wine to join the portfolio.

The 2020 Barbaresco Riserva Rabajà is another stellar wine in this range. Dark and explosive, the 2021 possesses notable richness to match its dark, brooding personality. Black cherry, plum, leather, cloves, menthol, licorice and gravel explode onto the palate.

Nebbiolo | Piedmont, Barbaresco
The fruit for this wine comes from the mostly south-facing aspect of the Asili cru, with an average vine age of 55 years. The winemaking is similar to the other Barbarescos. This is perhaps the most compelling of the Luisin Barbarescos, with a textbook Nebbiolo red colour and an intriguing bouquet of so many elements that all come together in harmony. Classic varietal characters of liquorice root, rose petal and anise, alongside brighter fruit aromas of pomegranate, cherry and raspberry, with

Lazzarito stands out as one of the strongest wines in this portfolio of new releases from Vietti. With fruit from Serralunga d'Alba, the 2020 Barolo Lazzarito comes in at a very high threshold in terms of complexity, offering dark cherry, crème de cassis, violet macaron, dried herb and lavender. The wine's perfumes remind me of the south of France in summer. It shows elegant tannins, streamlined intensity and good acidity.

Picked on October 9 and 10, the 2020 Barolo Ravera has plenty of Ravera classicism and tension, but also feels a bit light in the mid-palate. Ravera is never a huge wine in body, but the depth is often there, even if expressed in an understated and more linear manner. The 2020 lacks that depth. Red-toned fruit, blood orange, mint, spice and white pepper lend brilliance throughout.Antonio Galloni, Vinous 94 PointsThe Vietti 2020 Barolo Ravera offers dark fruit, cherry and blackcurrant

It marries finesse and volume to a degree that is not found in most of the other wines in this range.

As a result, the wines often possess mind-blowing balance, which is very much the case here.Antonio Galloni, Vin

This is the baby in the bunch, representing one of the newest additions to the Vietti portfolio, with the first vintage produced in 2018. The learning curve in Monvigliero is always steep, or so most winemakers tell me, because very few can go to 100% whole-cluster fermentation. Indeed, the 2021 Barolo Monvigliero sees 60% whole clusters. The Vietti team is experienced, and this wine is pristine. This vintage was harvested on September 30th, and maceration was a bit shorter, at 20 days. The wine
