Rizzi Barbaresco DOCG, Piedmont, Italy 2021

Barbaresco DOCG 2021 is a beautifully classic expression of Nebbiolo from one of Barbaresco’s most respected family estates. Sourced from the estate’s vineyards surrounding the village of Treiso, the wine offers an alluring bouquet of rose petals, red cherry, wild strawberry, orange peel, and sweet spice, layered with hints of tobacco and crushed herbs. The exceptional 2021 vintage brings remarkable concentration and structure, yet the wine remains graceful and transparent, with finely woven tannins, vibrant acidity, and a persistent mineral finish. Approachable with decanting but built for long-term cellaring, this is a quintessential Barbaresco that captures the elegance, complexity, and age worthy character that make Nebbiolo one of the world’s greatest grape varieties.
