Castello di Verduno
Barbaresco, Riserva, Rabaja, 2019
justerini & brooks tasting note
Fantastic, sculpted, blue, purple and red fruits, with heather, lavender and camphor. Grippy and mineral and exciting. Lucid and fresh but structured too. Superb. A special selection of just four rows of 75-year-old vines, fermented with submerged cap and long macerations, aged for three years in traditional 25hl cask.
critic reviews
92/100Antonio Galloni,Vinous
The 2019 Barbaresco Riserva Rabajà is elegant and powerful at the same time, with notes of rose petal, crushed flowers, lavender, menthol and licorice that gradually open with air. Today, the 2019 is quite austere.
