Castello di Verduno – Barbaresco Rabajà Riserva – 2019

Rabajà together with Asili represents the most complex and interesting vineyard in the Barbaresco area. Famous for having more compact soils rich in clay as well as the perfect south/west exposure, giving the nebbiolos darker notes and deeper tannins with significantly higher aging capacity than normal Barbaresco wines. The vines range from 30 to 50 years old; only in the best years is Barbaresco produced in the Riserva version in small quantities. After macerating in wooden vats for about 40 days, the wine was aged in large oak barrels for 2 years, then spent a few months in steel tanks and then in the bottle for almost 4 years. Dark textured Barbaresco, herbaceous and black cherry notes, deep tannins with great aging potential.
