Descrizione

The Rabajà Barbaresco DOCG 2020, produced by the renowned Castello Di Verduno, represents a true gem of Piedmontese winemaking, particularly from the Barbaresco region. This wine is made exclusively from handpicked and carefully selected Nebbiolo grapes. The vinification follows traditional methods, respecting the ancient traditions of the area, with aging for at least 24 months in oak barrels.

The color of this Barbaresco is a lively garnet red with orange reflections typical of aged Nebbiolo. On the nose, it opens with a complex bouquet of ripe red fruits, floral notes of violet and dried roses, followed by hints of spices, leather, and a slight earthy vein. On the palate, the Rabajà 2020 offers a robust yet balanced structure, with finely intertwined tannins and a long, pleasantly harmonious aromatic persistence. The well-balanced acidity and complex flavors make it ideal for extended aging, promising favorable evolution in the years to come.

A wine of great elegance and depth, the Rabajà Barbaresco DOCG 2020 is perfect for accompanying rich dishes such as roasted red meats, game, and aged cheeses. A prestigious addition to any connoisseur's and collector's cellar.

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.
