Barbaresco Rabaja’
Traditional version of the great Cru: a wine featuring structure, elegance and a personality of its own.
Barbaresco Rabajà is our most important wine and has an intense and ethereal perfume with fresh notes that evolve into scents of spices, tobacco and brushwood notes as it ages. A dry, full and robust flavour with a rich and harmonious structure; garnet red colour.
