Rosanna Sandri Rizzi, Barbaresco DOCG, Italy 2022

Rizzi Barbaresco DOCG, Piedmont, Italy 2022

A beautifully traditional expression of Nebbiolo from the Rizzi cru in Treiso, crafted by the Sandri family, whose roots in the vineyards stretch back generations. Sourced from vines averaging around 50 years old, this small-production Barbaresco is fermented with an extended 50-day maceration and aged in large oak barrels before further bottle maturation. Expect an enticing bouquet of red cherries, rose petals and savory herbs, followed by earthy complexity, vibrant acidity and fine, persistent tannins. Elegant yet structured, with the depth and classic character to reward time in the cellar, this is a compelling bottle for lovers of authentic, traditionally made Piedmontese wine.
