Barbaresco Rio Sordo

Medium

Cork

This estate should be on all Barbaresco aficionados' radars: brothers Riccardo and Davide Rizzolio took the reins of their family’s 5.5ha estate in 2017. Production is a mere 30,000-32,000 bottles annually. From vines planted in 1958, the Rio Sordo emerges furtively with intricate notes of juniper, mace and wild berries. Do not be fooled by the elegant weight, this is utterly finessed and precisely constructed, but not easygoing. Gorgeous dark red cherry and raspberry are framed by slightly rigid, al dente tannins. Earthy nuance keeps this well rooted in its sense of place.
