バルバレスコ・イ・リッチ
Barbaresco I Ricci
RedNebbiolo
A Barbaresco blend created by Enrico Dellapiana exclusively for The Wine Society (UK), combining grapes from the Nervo, Pajorè and Boito crus in proportions that vary slightly by vintage (roughly 45% Nervo, 45% Pajorè, 10% Boito in the 2020 vintage). It offers tart berries, iris, cedar, camphor, orange rind and dusty rose petals, with succulent red berry and firm, refined tannins on the palate.
バルバレスコ・ネルヴォ
Barbaresco Nervo
RedNebbiolo
From the 4-hectare Nervo cru beneath the village of Treiso (white marl, clay-calcareous soils), this single-vineyard Barbaresco shows bright ruby color with a light garnet rim, orange pith and wild floral perfume, and a linear, mineral-driven palate with thick, refined tannins.
バルバレスコ・パジョレ
Barbaresco Pajorè
RedNebbiolo
From the historic Pajorè cru, one of Barbaresco's most celebrated crus. 100% Nebbiolo grown on white marl clay-calcareous soils at roughly 230-300m elevation. Aged in large Slavonian oak for 12 months, then concrete for 9 months, followed by bottle aging. Expect tart red berries, iris, cedar, camphor, orange rind and smoky herbs with firm, refined tannins.
バルバレスコ・リゼルヴァ・ヴィーニャ・ボイト
Barbaresco Riserva Vigna Boito
RedNebbiolo
The estate's top Riserva, from the Boito plot within the Rizzi cru. Aged per DOCG Riserva requirements (minimum 4 years, at least 2 in wood). Deep, soil-driven nose of red and black cherries, spice, smoked meat, licorice and cedar, with a full, energetic palate showing cranberry, orange peel and stony earth. A classic, muscular wine with serious aging potential.
バルバレスコ・リッツィ
Barbaresco Rizzi
RedNebbiolo
The estate's namesake bottling, blending grapes from several plots within the historic Rizzi cru — a 10-hectare, south/southwest-facing vineyard in Treiso first recognized as a top cru in 1898 (220-310m elevation, limestone-clay-sand soils). Vinified without a single-plot designation, it captures the classic Rizzi character: fresh red fruit layered over notes of forest floor, with firm, refined tannins and real aging potential.
