Cordero Barbaresco DOCG 2011
About the wine
A triumphant Italian classic
- Gorgeously 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. A real labor of love.
- This elegant, beautifully crafted Barbaresco is made from the same grapes as its ultra-expensive big sister Barolo, without the huge price tag.
- A wine that's as well made as this can be laid down for 6-8 years... if you can wait that long, that is! We certainly wouldn't blame you for grabbing a bottle, cracking it open and enjoying it with some roasted veggie ravioli.

Wine profile
Meet the winemaker - Gianfranco & Serena Cordero
Years Angel-funded: 2014-18
- This father and daughter combo are mega-qualified Italian winemakers and consultants who make beautiful Barolo, Barbaresco, Barbera and Arneis wines from Piedmont.
- They started producing their own wine in 2006 when they decided to take on Serena's grandfather Teresio's vineyard so they could keep on working in his memory, and let their land be known all over the world.
- Gianfranco is one of the reasons Barolo is known as the King of Wines, and - with the help of Angel funding - Serena is ushering in a new generation of northern Italian wines with balance, elegance and flavor.
