The 2009 Langhe Nebbiolo is flat-out gorgeous. It possesses striking depth in its sweet red fruit, flowers, licorice and spices. All of the elements flow gracefully towards the juicy, rewarding finish. This is classy, understated and totally delicious from start to finish. Best of all, it is a screaming value. Anticipated maturity: 2012-2017.
This is an impressive set of wines from Cortese. It’s impossible not to admire these genuine, sincere wines and their equally unpretentious prices.
