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.
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."
