Barbaresco
A “classic” selection of Barbaresco d.o.c.g., grown in some parcels close to the winery.
Seasonal weather conditions at times preclude using the grapes from all the parcels for our benchmark label, Barbaresco Rabajà, but that fruit can nonetheless produce a Barbaresco that fully reflects its denomination: a crisp, mineral-edged wine that is both complex and eminently approachable.
