The 2019 Barbaresco Rabajà shows more heft and concentration next to the Currà. The site has white and gray marl soils. This wine reveals a beautiful bouquet with dark currant, plum, iron ore and evident spice with hints of tobacco leaf. You also detect a hint of white pepper. This more robust style gives Rabajà bigger pairing potential with meat dishes and some of the traditional wintery foods of Piedmont, like stracotto di Fassona (braised beef). Production is 6,000 bottles.

This features tangy cherry and raspberry flavors up front, giving way to eucalyptus, menthol and stony mineral accents as it evolves on the palate. Succulent yet elegant, with a dusting of tannins on the precision finish. Best from 2026 through 2043. 511 cases made, 54 cases imported.??–BS??Region: Italy / Piedmont / Barbaresco Select to Add
