I had the 2013 vintage from my cellar this summer and was so impressed that I hounded the distributor for the current vintage.  It took a bit but they finally got it for me.   ‍ There were only 300 cases imported into the USA so I was happy to get some.

‍I have 3 cases of this beauty coming in mid/late January.   It hails from quite possibly the finest vineyard in Barbaresco. ‍

‍At only $57/btl vs the usual $65-70 price and a wine that routinely gets mid-90 point reviews, this is one to grab and put away in your cellar for 2-4 years.   

This is great article about the Cortese family winery and what makes this wine and vineyard so special.
