Barbaresco DOCG 2023 - Giuseppe Cortese

A red wine from Barbaresco, made from Nebbiolo grown in the Rabajà vineyard at about 250 metres on calcareous and clay soils. The grapes are harvested by hand and, after fermentation, the wine ages for 18 months in Slavonian oak barrels, followed by at least six months in bottle. It has a garnet colour. The nose shows red fruits and violet, with light earthy and tobacco notes. On the palate it is warm and juicy, with well-judged tannins and a balanced structure between acidity and savouriness, giving a coherent, fruity and very approachable sip.
