WINE NEWS REVIEWS THE 2016 BARBARESCO PAJORE DOCG

THE WORDS OF ANTONIO PAOLINI ON THE RIZZI WINERY AND ON THE DOCG BARBARESCO PAJORE '2016

WINE NEWS, daily online communication agency on the world of wine & food, talks about the Rizzi winery and does so through the voice of Antonio Paolini, journalist and food and wine critic for almost twenty years, who has signed or co-signed 15 editions of guides national restaurants and 10 wines, as well as various other sectoral or local ones, and numerous food and wine books.

Here is his review on the Rizzi winery: “Company relaunched by a remarkable change of course, both in terms of quality and style, taken since the young winemaker Enrico Dellapiana was at the helm, devoted to translating the territorial stigmata of“ his ”hill more and more into the bottle the MeGa Rizzi of Treiso, the heart of Barbaresco. Here his family manages 44 hectares, and a range of different types derives from them, but they share a common stamp of tension and precision, without preconceived renunciations - and not only on Nebbiolo - to the more “muscular” characters of the grape. Eloquent evidence of the setting, the last "100 months" Alta Langa pas dosé, which plays right on these tones, or the long-lived Riserva Boito, projected over the long term .... " And here's what he writes on the Barbaresco Pajorè Docg 2016:

"... But this radiant Pajorè seduces the palate with the results of the happy 2016 harvest. Plot defined, beautiful and pure matter, feast of balance. The elegance of the fruit and its energy impose itself on the fly to taste, but to make the difference is the marked and already eloquent expressive capacity of the wine. And it is not only a vintage effect - although present -. The character of the vineyard is very important, three special hectares bordering the municipality of Barbaresco, 250-300 meters above sea level, very poor marl soils, but facing south. An earth-light-sun dialectic with an outcome that, to quote the producer / author, "expresses the sober power of one of Treiso's greatest crus"
