Giuseppe Cortese 2007 Rabajá Nebbiolo (Barbaresco)
- $50
Giuseppe Cortese’s bold Barbaresco from the Rabajà cru shows a strong bouquet of spice, liquid smoke, mesquite and cola. The natural fruit appears at the back and the wine carries over the palate with enormous freshness and intensity.

Giuseppe Cortese 2008 Rabajá Nebbiolo (Barbaresco)
- Online Exclusive
- $116
Of particular interest is the fullness and generosity of this lovely Barbaresco cru expression. Ripe red fruit and plum notes are backed by black olive, licorice powder and a tightly astringent finish. Age this wine 5–10 more years and pair it with game hen and black truffles.

Giuseppe Cortese 2006 Rabajá Nebbiolo (Barbaresco)
- Online Exclusive
- $55
This Barbaresco exemplifies a light and traditional expression of the Nebbiolo grape with direct intensity and vertical delivery of dried spice, oregano, vanilla, forest berry and white cherry aromas. The wine is delicate and feminine but watch out for that thorny, brambly edge on the finish.

Fruit is harvested from the celebrated Rabajá cru, a short distance away from the town center of Barbaresco, and presented in a tight, more traditional expression. There’s a nervous or sharp quality to the wine that is backed by immediate aromas of chopped herbs, soya sauce and spice.
