The estate's entry-level Nebbiolo, sourced from younger vines and declassified Barbaresco-appellation plots. Bright ruby red with floral, fruity and spicy aromas of crisp cherry, rose petal, lilac and bitter almond, riper fruit on the palate, and tightly woven, mouthwatering tannins. Fermented in stainless steel for three weeks and aged 12 months in large Slavonian oak.
This is the smartest way into Rizzi's cellar — all the perfume and grip of their Barbaresco style, ready to drink years sooner.
