TASTING NOTES

Looking for a wine that feels like a special occasion in a glass? This Barbaresco Riserva Rabajà 2015 is your ticket. It’s the kind of wine that takes you on a journey with every sip, thanks to its deep, garnet color and complex aromas of wild berry, violet, and a hint of eucalyptus that keeps things fresh and unexpected.

On the palate, expect a full-bodied, polished experience with juicy black cherry and raspberry flavors, layered with notes of liquorice and crushed mint. The assertive tannins and bright acidity give it structure and a vibrant energy, while the subtle pipe tobacco finish adds a sophisticated twist. This is a wine that manages to be powerful and precise, with a mineral edge that speaks to the unique terroir of the steep Rabajà vineyard in Barbaresco.

Perfect for those nights when you’re serving up something hearty, like roast lamb with rosemary or duck confit. Whether you’re unwinding after a long day or gathering around the table with friends, this wine invites you to slow down and celebrate the richness of the moment.

Produced by the iconic Produttori del Barbaresco cooperative, founded in 1958, known for crafting some of the most authentic Nebbiolo expressions in Piedmont. The warm 2015 vintage helped deliver this wine’s ripe, complex character, making it approachable now yet ready to age gracefully for years to come.

"The Produttori del Barbaresco 2015 Barbaresco Riserva Rabajà is a stunning wine. The aromas rise from the glass with purpose, clarity and extreme definition. This is indeed a very special wine, thanks to the direct and linear quality of fruit and the elegant tannins that build the long finish. The Nebbiolo grape is elevated to a beautiful plain or plateau, where it shows off its naked beauty in a clear and unobstructed manner. The wine affords us a panoramic view of the Piedmont grape, planted in the white tuffaceous marl soils of Rabajà."

"Though rich, this red offers bright acidity and dense tannins that lend a sense of tightness, with pure cherry, strawberry and floral flavors that are persistent from start to lingering finish, where distinct spice and mineral elements play out. *Highly Recommended, Ranked #24 Wine Spectator Top 100 of 2020*"

"Rabajà has a complex mix of soils and at its northern edges joins the vineyards of Asili and Muncagota. This was first bottled by Produttori as a single-vineyard wine in 1971. The 2015 is darker and richer than all here other than perhaps the Asili and Rio Sordo. It has an intense meaty, inky character framed by wood and with an overlay of vanilla. It combines power and density with elegant tannins and high acidity."

"Wild berry, violet, face powder and eucalyptus aromas lift out of the glass. On the youthfully austere, structured palate, tightly knit but noble tannins wrap around black cherry, raspberry, licorice and crushed mint. Give this a few more years to fully develop."
