This wine is a vintage car. Elegant and sleek, a design that fits the modern world, thought its a classic. A power that lurks underneath the hood that when let lose, cannot be bottled again. This is a wine of beauty, depth and power. Dark cherries and plums laced with sweet and tangy spices evolve into blue violets and wild herbs. The palate is rich and giving, with warmed fruit compotes that are hemmed in by vibrant acidity and the most elegant tannins that feel like the perfect leather seat as you prepare to start the engine. Drink Now until there is no more.

The 2019 Barbaresco Riserva Rabaja is redolent of dark fruit, crushed rocks, graphite, sage, menthol and lavendar all race across the palate, supported by bracing, young Rabaja tannins that make themselves felt. This mid-weight, powerhouse Barbaresco packs quite a punch.
