Castello di Verduno – Barbaresco Rabajà – 2016

The history of Castello di Verduno has very ancient origins but the true production of wine began in 1900, when the Burlotto family bought the property. Thanks to the marriage between Gabriella Burlotto, owner of the Castle, and Franco Bianco, an important producer of Barbaresco, today the company can boast the two most precious jewels of the Langa: Barolo and Barbaresco.
The work in the vineyards has always been carried out with the utmost respect for nature and trying to best enhance the different characteristics of the grape based on its origin.
In the cellar, tradition reigns supreme, fermentation for the most important wines still takes place in wooden vats and aging is long in large oak barrels.
Rabajà, mention of great prestige that has always given us very balanced and harmonious wines, where elegance and power blend perfectly.In this fantastic Cru thanks to the combination of old plants at an altitude of 300 meters above sea level, on the soil rich in sand and clay, Castello di Verduno produces a super expressive Barbaresco. Structured, enveloping, elegant, with noble tannins and a splendid long finish.
