One of the best value Barbarescos on the Market!

Giuseppe Cortese Barbaresco 2019

Nebbiolo | Piedmont, Barbaresco

For the coin this sitting in a great spot! Here’s a good value from Piedmont. The Giuseppe Cortese 2019 Barbaresco is fine and silky with determined aromas of dried fruit, pressed rose, licorice and crushed stone. The wine shows classic Nebbiolo aromas in a simple manner and with just enough complexity to underline the distinct personality of this special grape. Monica Larner, The Wine Advocate 92 Points The second release of this wine comprising young vines from Rabaja and older

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 Points The Rabajà sees a jump in sophistication depth and length.

Giuseppe Cortese Barbaresco Rabajà 2017

Nebbiolo | Piedmont, Barbaresco

🍇RABAJÀ RABAJÀ RABAJÀ 🇮🇹 There’s a thread through Cortese’s wines of being well composed. 2017 Rabaja shows an edge to the tannins that sits in line with the fruit weight and well come together nicely in the next couple of years. The aroma and flavour of Cortese Rabaja have a certain harmony to them that draws you in. There’s a lot to like here. Dark cherry and liquorice are play with hits of blood orange and tea. Perfume is intoxicating. It’s the purity and translucence that
