The Giuseppe Cortese 2020 Barbaresco delivers aromas of crushed rose, redcurrant, licorice and camphor ash. The mouthfeel is lean and polished, and this classic Barbaresco offers a solid near to medium-term drinking window thanks to its open, fruit-forward style. It ages in Slavonian oak casks for 18 months, and 10,000 bottles were released this past spring.

Best from 2025 through 2042. 850 cases made, 500 cases imported.??–BS??Region: Italy / Piedmont / Barbaresco Select to Add
