The 2018 Barbaresco Rabajà expresses all of its classicism and nuance in an ethereal, nervy style that is going to need at least a few years in bottle to unwind. Readers will notice a Rabajà that is more finesse than muscle, the direction these wines have trended in over the last few years. Sage, mint, tobacco, licorice and incense are laced into the resonant finish. (Antonio Galloni, Vinous, February 2022)

Here is the story of this feisty, intense wine that is subtle and nuanced at the same time. Vibrant red fruit infused with fine grain tannins and hints of earth. Grippy finish at the end. https://spokenwines.com/our-blog/born-in-the-vineyard-the-cortese-family-s-quiet-revolution-in-barbaresco. Enjoy!
