Barbaresco Rabajà 2023

The Barbaresco DOCG "Rabajà" by Bruno Rocca is a pinnacle expression of Piedmontese winemaking, channeling the pure, unmistakable identity of one of Italy’s most legendary grand crus. While sharing the same elite terroir as the Riserva, this classic release captures the vibrant energy, soaring aromatics, and vertical elegance of Rabajà as it reaches its stride, offering supreme complexity coupled with approachable structural polish.

Sourced from the estate's historic parcels within the natural amphitheater of the Rabajà cru in Barbaresco, the vines enjoy an ideal South/South-West exposure on calcareous-marl soils rich in silt, sand, and clay. Cellar protocols feature temperature-controlled fermentation and skin maceration in stainless steel vats, followed by maturation for roughly 18 to 20 months in French oak barriques, and subsequent bottle aging. The resulting Barbaresco marries commanding structural power with peerless aromatic refinement.
