Barbaresco docg Giuseppe Cortese 2020

The Barbaresco by Giuseppe Cortese is an elegant and fine red wine, with a traditional style produced with 100% Nebbiolo grapes coming from different vineyards grown in the prestigious Cru Rabaja. Fresh and mineral wine, it shows a beautiful garnet red color. On the nose the bouquet is wide and complex, with notes of ripe red fruit and jam, in addition to slightly spicy and toasted hints. Thanks to the long aging in large barrels, it is harmonious and balanced in the mouth, with a pleasantly fresh and persistent finish. The Barbaresco by Giuseppe Cortese is perfect to drink in combination with stuffed pasta with meat sauce, roasted or braised red meats and aged cheeses.

The winery of Giuseppe Cortese is located in Rabaja region in Barbaresco, in the heart of the Langhe hills. The Cortese family has cultivated wine for about three generations, but it is since 1971 that they have started vinifying grapes on their own. The Giuseppe Cortese winery produces Nebbiolo, Dolcetto and Barbera, but is famous above all for its Barbaresco Rabajà. The Cortese winery doesn’t use chemical herbicides or any invasive treatment in its vineyards. Thanks to the optimal exposure of the vineyards, the favorable composition of the soils and to the uniqueness of the microclimate, the vines produce grapes of great quality that give life to great wines.
