Cordero Barbaresco DOCG 2012
About the wine
Italian beauty in a class of it's own
- It's back! The latest vintage release of Naked's elegantly crafted feminine beauty, this Barbaresco will have any red lover re-filling their glass. Brought to Angels from the downright passionate Gianfranco & Serena Cordero, this father-daughter duo give authentic winemaking passion a whole new meaning. It's landed on Aussie shores in incredibly exclusive quantities and oozes quality, so the patient among us can lay it down for another 6 years at least.
- Made from the same grapes as its ultra-premium big brother Barolo, it carries an even friendlier price tag. You'll taste seductive and well structured dark fruits in every glass. Top that off with sumptuously smooth, silken tannins and you've got a wine fit for the finest table. Bearing the name of it's only DOCG certified origin, the Piedmont sub-region of Barbaresco, this is the feminine darling of Italian Nebbiolo.
- This beautifully crafted Barbaresco will hook you in from the very first sip especially if paired with a mushroom risotto. With Angel funding behind this talented winemaking family team, you'll be blown away with the bang for your buck. Live big & indulge in one of life's finest treats, just like the Italians!
Best before
Will age gracefully, so you can enjoy drinking now or around 10 years from vintage. Yes, until 2022!
Serving advice
Open to breathe around 30 to 60 minutes prior to serving. Slightly chilled at around 14-18°C with good company - hard to go wrong.
Food match
Try carne cruda - raw beef or veal prepared the Piedmontese way. Also gorgeous when paired with a porcini risotto or grilled fillet steak.
Milder cheeses such as a robiolo, grana padano or a wine friendly goats cheese will compliment this drop wonderfully.
Contains sulphites
