Tasting Notes

Such a fantastic style of Nebbiolo. Rose, red cherry, leather and an earthy note on the nose. The palate is rich, with crisp acidity, firm tannins and real minerality. A wine that shows such character.

Producer Profile

Giuseppe Cortese founded the winery in 1971 at the top of the Rabajà hill in Barbaresco, building on his family’s small winemaking heritage. The Rabajà vineyard is the heart of the estate, and the family is its largest owner. Today Giuseppe’s son Pier Carlo makes the wines and his daughter Tiziana runs the commercial side.

Viticulture

A classic selection of Nebbiolo from the family’s parcels in the Rabajà and Trifolera vineyards.

Winemaking

100% Nebbiolo, made in a traditional style and aged in large oak barrels, which keeps the fruit and spice of the grape to the fore.

Goes well with

Roast meats, game and rich, slow-cooked dishes.

Cellaring

Approachable after a decant, but it has the structure to age for 15 to 20 years.
