Barbaresco Rabajà

Medium

Cork

The estate makes two single-site bottlings from the neighbouring MGAs of Rabajà and Rabajà-Bas. Trying them side by side is a fascinating lesson in Barbaresco’s complex terroir. Slightly higher and southwest-facing, rather than fully west, Rabajà demonstrates a notch up in finesse and vibrancy – even in 2022. Aromas of sage, damp earth and brushwood carry over to the cranberry and redcurrant palate, demonstrating lovely flow and balance. This doesn’t have the richness or structural matrix of the greatest vintages, but it is a juicy and pretty edition.
