Red
Riserva Rabajà
By Bruno Rocca, Barbaresco, Piemonte, Italy
The Riserva from the Rabajà cru, aged 24 to 36 months in large oak.
Tasting notes
Intense ruby red with garnet reflections. Clear black fruit (blackberry and blueberry) opening into sweet pipe tobacco spice. An opening of freshness and savouriness gives way to intensity and elegance.
