Pierre Carlo Cortese, who took over winemaking at the family domain in 1991 after finishing school, is a big fan of the 2008 vintage, which he believes brought "perfect ripeness." He places this vintage in the sequence of top years following 2006, 2004, 2001, 1999 and 1996, which he describes as "other classical years for structure and definition." Cortese benefits from owning a big parcel of the superb Rabaja cru, from which he also makes about 5,000 bottles of a riserva in the best years. Interestingly, when I visited him this year on September 13, he was not planning to harvest his Rabaja for another two weeks, which would have been late by Barbaresco standards. Cortese describes 2009 as between 2007 and 2008 in style. The 2007s, he added, "have big maturation, big alcohol" compared to the more classic 2008s.

This is an impressive set of wines from Cortese. It's impossible not to admire these genuine, sincere wines and their equally unpretentious prices.
