Nebbiolo

About this wine

The Rabajà Riserva is a benchmark expression of Nebbiolo from one of Barbaresco's most prestigious crus. Sourced from a unique amphitheater vineyard where limestone and clay soils converge, this wine offers a perfect harmony of elegance and power. It undergoes traditional vinification with 30 days of skin contact and at least 30 months of aging in large oak barrels. The result is a complex, full-bodied wine with intense aromas of black cherry, leather, licorice, and mint, supported by a firm, architectural structure and vibrant acidity. It is a serious, age-worthy wine that epitomizes the excellence of the Produttori del Barbaresco cooperative.

Beginner's Note

This is a powerful, sophisticated red wine that demands patience; decant it for several hours or cellar it for a decade to experience its true majesty.

Sommelier's Note

"This is an absolute masterpiece of Piedmontese viticulture. You must experience the Rabajà at least once; its structural integrity and aromatic complexity are simply unrivaled in the region."

Food Pairings

Pairs beautifully with fresh egg-pasta dishes, risotto, roasted red meats, game, venison, and aged cheeses. It also complements Japanese dishes such as grilled wagyu beef with soy sauce or duck hot pot.

When to drink it

Ideal for special celebrations, formal dinners, or as a centerpiece for a serious wine tasting experience.
