Why buy it?
Harmony with the territory – it is certainly the right phrase to describe Giuseppe Cortese’s precious Barbaresco. Only the best grapes become part of this wine of which this company has always been one of the finest representatives; notes of ripe fruit intertwine with the tertiary aromas that only long aging in wood and time can give to this wine.

Description
History
It was in 1971 that Giuseppe Cortese decided to start producing Barbaresco in his own vineyards, strongly believing in the potential of this area; thus the first Barbaresco Rabajà was born. Today the company sees Giuseppe’s sons busy cultivating around 8 hectares of vineyards in the heart of Rabajà with method and passion. Austerity intertwined with elegance is how we could describe the wines of this company which combine the first characteristic of the Nebbiolo grape with the nuances dictated by the climate and the peculiar soils.
Grapes used
Nebbiolo 100%
Production method
The Nebbiolo grapes used come from vineyards that have an average age of 35 years. After the harvest, the grapes ferment in contact with the skins for approximately 30 days. Subsequently the wine ages for 18 months in Slavonian oak barrels and another 6 months before being marketed.
Alcohol content
14.5%
Tasting notes
Intense ruby red colour. Notes of fresh fruit combined with notes of raspberry, blackberry and currant jam with dried violets. Nice mineral and spice note of vanilla, black pepper, tobacco and cigar. On the palate it finds this elegance and minerality typical of the company and the area, with a beautiful persistence.
Possible combinations
Ideal with truffle first courses, medium or very mature cheeses, or with meat or traditional Piedmontese second courses. Also excellent as a meditation wine.
