Variety: Nebbiolo

Aged for 18 months in Slavonian oak barrels ranging from 17 to 25 hectolitres, all a minimum of five to six years old. Sourced entirely from Rabajà, this is a more vibrant and less densely structured expression than the wine below.

 

The 2021 Barbaresco shows all the pedigree and classicism of this great vintage. Bright, poised and super-expressive, the 2021 is a total delight in every way. Crushed leaves, orange peel, mint, rosewater and sweet pipe tobacco are some of the many notes that grace a Barbaresco, which is all about sublime elegance.
