Barbaresco Rabaja DOCG 2020

Rabaja and Asili are probably the most famous vineyards in Barbaresco. Medium, delicately fragrant nose of rose petals, cherries and blue flowers, with restrained ethereal herbal notes. Powerful and compact on the palate, with a well-proportioned cornucopia of black fruits such as blackberries and cassis, plus some liquorice. As the wine progresses, its power and a certain pressure become apparent, but this never comes across as wild or ostentatious, but always reflects the elegance of the site and the Giacosa-typical ageing in large wood. Impressive flavour and length! SUPERIORE.DE

"Pungent nose. And very fine and fresh. The fruit literally jumps out of the glass. Normally rather powerful, but the 2020 has great finesse. Long!" Jancis Robinson

"This red starts out smooth and almost creamy, displaying cherry, strawberry, earth, iron and eucalyptus flavors. Firm and balanced, with excellent energy and a long, resonant finish that evokes white pepper. Offers brilliant intensity and expression." Wine Spectator

"Wow. The purity of the fruit and the sophistication are out of this world. Peaches, strawberries, light-coloured plums and berries. Full-bodied and yet compact. The tannin structure is there, but you can't see it. It is dense and decisive with perfect balance and length. A masterpiece. It's so exciting to taste." James Suckling
