Castello di Verduno Barbaresco Rabaja 2019

Delicate aromas of blue flower, red berry and a hint of underbrush waft out of the glass. Elegant and firmly structured, the savory palate offers crushed raspberry, ripe cherry and baking spice alongside taut tannins.
A Barbaresco full of assertive character, this is youthful and almost estery on the nose, focused on red berries with a veneer of sweet spices. The palate is austere due to firm acidity integrated with very youthful fruit. The tannins are crunchy, the overall profile of the wine almost tart at the moment but lively and tense to follow. It's the result of a blend of Rabajà and Faset MGAs, aged in big oak vessels - a very traditional Barbaresco recipe.
