Because no Riserva was bottled in 2017, Rabajà fruit went to this wine instead. The Giuseppe Cortese 2017 Barbaresco Rabajà offers tart fruit aromas of white cherry, red currant and blue flower. There are pretty dustings of crushed stone, light smoke and camphor ash. This is a lean and silky wine that offers a streamlined mouthfeel framed by linear and powdery tannins. The wine sees fruit sourced from a larger span of the Rabajà cru, spanning some four hectares. The finished wine ages in Slavonian oak casks for 22 months, plus 14 months in glass. Some 17,000 bottles will be released in September 2020.

Elegant, gentle and expressive, with cherry, strawberry, floral and iron flavors supported by a solid structure. Closes up a little on the finish, with a long aftertaste of fruit and mineral. Best from 2023 through 2042. 1,420 cases made, 300 cases imported.??–BS??Region: Italy / Piedmont / Barbaresco Select to Add
