Ruby red color tending towards violet. The perfume is pleasantly fruity and intense. Very elegant and velvety with a harmonious and a pleasantly aftertaste.

Producer Information

Giuseppe Cortese is an Italian wine producer based in the Barbaresco wine-producing area of Piedmont. The estate specializes in Barbaresco DOCG wines made from the region's most famous grape variety – Nebbiolo. The Cortese family has been producing wine in Barbaresco for generations, but it was Giuseppe Cortese who established the family's winemaking business in the 1960s. The estate released its first Barbaresco vintage from its vineyards in the Rabajà area in 1971. Production was subsequently expanded with the purchase of vineyards in Trifolera, allowing the estate to widen its portfolio with the addition of Dolcetto d'Alba, Barbera d'Alba and Chardonnay wines. The estate's original Rabajà vineyard extends over south-facing slopes with calcareous soils. The majority of the vineyard is dedicated to Nebbiolo and is the source of the estate's Barbaresco Riserva Rabajà, Barbaresco Rabajà and Langhe Nebbiolo wines. The flagship of the Giuseppe Cortese portfolio is the Riserva Rabajà wine, only produced in the best vintage years. It is created using grapes harvested from the oldest vines in the estate vineyard (averaging at around 60 years old). The wine sees approximately 40 months in Slavonian oak barrels before spending another three years maturing in bottle.
