BARBARESCO "RIZZI"

2022

75cl

Grape variety: Nebbiolo

THE WINE

It represents the company's flagship wine and clearly expresses its style, in a constant search for elegance and purity. It is born from grapes harvested in the best plots of the homonymous Cru Rizzi. As this is a fairly extensive vineyard area, it is normal to find considerable variations in exposure and altitude, as well as evident pedological differences. The result is a classic Barbaresco in which the freshness of the fruit, the intensity of the undergrowth, immediacy, and longevity coexist.

Serving temperature: 16°C.

VINIFICATION

Harvest:

manual in crates, in the first ten days of October (with possible variations depending on seasonal climatic conditions). Fermentation and maceration:

in large Slavonian oak barrels for about 12 months, then in concrete tanks for another 6-9 months, and subsequently in bottle before release.
