Note di degustazione
The 2020 Barbaresco is redolent of crushed flowers, sweet red berry fruit, cedar, spice, orange peel, new leather and white pepper. Aromatic, lifted and quite brilliant, the 2020 is super-expressive in the early going. All the elements are so well balanced. This is so pleasurable today.

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.
Aged for 18 months in cask, the 2020 Barbaresco is a pale ruby and has a floral perfume of grenadine, red flowers, and fresh tarragon. It is medium-bodied, with fine tannins and a linear feel as well as notes of fresh cranberry, zesty orange, and fresh earth. A refreshing style with a focused feel, drink it 2024-2032.
The 2020 Barbaresco is impressive. It shows a bit more edginess in its tannin, both because it is younger, but also because of the vintage. Even so there's terrific energy driving the red-toned fruit, citrus and floral notes. A whole range of floral and earthy tones resonate on the substantial finish. It will be interesting to see how this turns out.
