Giuseppe Cortese Barbaresco 2019

This Giuseppe Cortese 2019 Barbaresco is a delightful expression of Nebbiolo from Piedmont that strikes a perfect balance between elegance and power. With a rich ruby red hue, it greets you with delicate aromas of dried fruit, pressed rose petals, and a touch of licorice and crushed stone. The nose gives way to bright cherry notes, geranium leaves, and rhubarb, accompanied by a subtle spice. On the palate, the wine is full-bodied yet silky, offering earthy tones, clear fruit expression, and a hint of salty tannin that adds structure and depth. It's youthful and vibrant, with just enough complexity to showcase the classic Nebbiolo character. A great value, it delivers the distinct personality of Barbaresco in a refined, approachable style.
