“Cortese’s 2013 Langhe Nebbiolo will give readers a good look at the personality of the vintage. Bright and aromatically lifted, the 2013 Nebbiolo offers lovely intensity throughout. Sweet red cherries, flowers, mint and white pepper are some of the signatures. The Langhe Nebbiolo is made mostly from young vines in Rabajà, plus a second parcel in Trifolera, aged for a year in cask.”

“The 2013 Langhe Nebbiolo is bright and simple with moderate but adequate intensity. This wine will get the job done if paired with roasted beef or grilled meats. It has both the freshness and the tannic backbone to pair with those dishes. The bouquet opens to dark berry, licorice and grilled herb. The wine ages in large oak casks for 22 months in order to achieve extra smoothness and silkiness.”
