The Rabaja Barbaresco Riserva DOCG 2019 from the Vietti winery embodies the elegance and complexity of the Nebbiolo grape variety cultivated in the Langhe region of Piedmont, one of Italy's most prestigious wine regions. This cuvée is crafted from carefully selected grapes from the Rabajà cru, renowned for its rich soil and favorable sun exposure.

In the glass, the Rabaja Barbaresco 2019 showcases a deep ruby red color with garnet reflections that become more pronounced with aging. On the nose, the wine reveals a complex and intriguing bouquet: floral aromas of rose and violet blend with notes of ripe red fruits, sweet spices, tobacco, and subtle hints of mint and anise.

On the palate, it is full-bodied, yet balanced by a lively freshness that leads to a long and persistent finish. The finely woven and mature tannins harmoniously integrate with the fruit and mineral components, resulting in a rich and layered tasting experience.

This Barbaresco is ideal for pairing with flavorful dishes such as roasted meats, game, and aged cheeses. Its structure and complexity also make it perfect as a meditation wine. It is recommended to decant it an hour before serving to enhance all its nuances. A wine that can be enjoyed now or left to age further, enriching itself over the coming decades.
