BARBARESCO RABAJA '2016 DOCG 75cl

Cortese's Barbaresco Rabajà is a structured and powerful wine, born in one of the most famous cru of Barbaresco, aged for at least 20 months in cask. Intense and deep on the nose, with varied fruity and vegetable scents, on the palate it is warm and enveloping, robust and very persistent: a great wine with a timeless charm. Giuseppe Cortese's Barbaresco "Rabajà" is one of those wines that, once tried, are impossible to forget. One of those wines that marks the time, which is in no way scratched by fashions, which you always find in the most important dinners and which you would never stop drinking on cold winter evenings, perhaps in front of the fireplace. A wine to respect, a wine with a consolidated, resistant, full, unique style. Giuseppe Cortese's Barbaresco "Rabajà" is all this: one of the best expressions of the Langhe area. A wine that carries with it the history of a great family that since 1971 has been defending, preserving, promoting and enhancing its territory. A tradition that today is carried on by Giuseppe's sons, Pier Carlo and Tiziana, who look to the future with the determination of those who want, year after year, to give the quality of a great wine. Giuseppe Cortese's Barbaresco "Rabajà" is just that. We are on the hills above Barbaresco, where the mention Rabajà occupies the highest part; between the Asili and the Trifolera, on a slope that is anything but homogeneous. A slope that on one side borders on the suggestive Martinenga amphitheater and on the other has a decidedly more linear profile and is exposed to the south. The greatness of Giuseppe Cortese's Barbaresco "Rabajà" lies entirely in Nebbiolo, a grape which in Barbaresco finds its maximum aromatic complexity and its best expression of longevity. The Barbaresco "Rabajà" by Giuseppe Cortese begins with vegetal suggestions, and then leaves room for pleasant notes of wild strawberry and mint. Characterized by a clear and sharp minerality, the Rabajà di Cortese has a remarkable tannic texture, never exaggerated however. Barbaresco "Rabajà" by Giuseppe Cortese: a great wine, with a timeless charm. It can contain sulphites. Alcohol 14.5%
