Barbaresco Riserva Rabajà 2020, Giuseppe Cortese
The nobility of mineral power. A Barbaresco of sculptural nobility, defined by austere and profound complexity. On the palate it is dense and upright, supported by a noble freshness that leads to a persistent finish of extraordinary nobility.
Barbaresco Riserva Rabajà 2020, Giuseppe Cortese
The Barbaresco Riserva Rabajà 2020 by Giuseppe Cortese is a masterful interpretation that elevates the austerity of Nebbiolo to absolute nobility. On the nose, it is an ecstasy of deep, dark complexity: notes of maraschino cherry, dried violet, and plum merge with elegant hints of leather, dark tobacco, menthol, and an extraordinary trace of wet stone. On the palate, it is magnificent: the entrance is monumental and austere, supported by a noble acidic backbone and sculptural, dense, noble tannins, closing on an infinite, savory finish of absolute nobility.
