BARBARESCO DOCG "RIZZI"

“The classicism of the Barbaresco”

THE WINE

It’s the emblem of the winery, the way through which the estate’s style shows itself, costantly looking for elegance and purity. It comes from the grapes harvested from the Rizzi Cru, which is a large vineyard varying in different altitudes, exposures and soils. This is a classical Barbaresco; notes of fresh fruit and underbrush coexist, giving it imminence and longevity.

Serving Temperature: 16°C.
