Giuseppe Cortese Rabaja Barbaresco 1.5L Magnum

This monumental, collector-level Barbaresco Riserva represents the absolute zenith of the region, opening with an aristocratic, profoundly complex bouquet of macerated red cherries, wild strawberries, and orange zest, seamlessly layered with tertiary notes of black truffle, licorice, tar, dark spice, and iron-like minerality. On the full-bodied palate, it showcases incredible muscular power and a majestic, seamless architecture. A deeply concentrated core of savory red fruit is brilliantly framed by tightly knit, velvety tannins and an electric regional acidity, carrying into an extraordinarily long, earth-toned, and beautifully complex finish.

Food Pairing: A majestic companion for heavy gastronomy; pairs flawlessly with slow-braised beef short ribs, wild boar ragù, fresh egg tajarin shaved with white truffles, or mature, hard cheeses like Castelmagno.
