Descrizione

The Rabajà-bas Barbaresco DOCG from Castello di Verduno expresses a contained refinement and a solid personality. In the glass it opens with aromas of small red berries and wilted rose petals, with a delicate spiciness that glides toward earthy tones; the aromatic range remains refined and shows a pleasant mineral underpinning that invites a second sip. The palate is defined: fine, polished tannins support the body, acidity brings freshness and savoriness provides tension, with a measured and convincing persistence. Overall it reveals a classic, restrained style, ideal for those who prefer balance over opulence.

It pairs well with traditional dishes such as braises, flavorful red meats, mushrooms and aged cheeses, but can also accompany more refined courses without overpowering them; it retains good potential for further development in bottle and, if decanted before serving, releases additional aromatic nuances. Serving temperature around 16–18 °C to appreciate its texture and finesse.

Winery history

The building has Renaissance origins and a long local history; it was rebuilt in later periods, and in 1838 it was acquired by Carlo Alberto di Savoia, who entrusted management of the estate to a winemaker. In the 20th century the property passed into the hands of local families, who developed wine tourism by transforming the castle into a facility with an on-site cellar, restaurant and hotel, while continuing the area's historic wine production.

Production philosophy

The estate states it focuses on wines that clearly express the Langhe, favoring low-intervention practices and traditional vinification for the major appellations, with attention to vine care in the vineyard.

Terroir and vineyards

Vineyards located between the municipality of Verduno and the Barbaresco area, in the heart of the Langhe. The producer is committed to the local appellations and to promoting native grape varieties such as Pelaverga piccolo, as well as Nebbiolo for Barolo and Barbaresco.
