Barbaresco Riserva DOCG Rabajà. It is proposed by Castello di Verduno and is the son of a territory of priceless beauty. One of the most renowned and prestigious wine zones in Italy. The Rabajà vineyard, in particular, is situated 300 metres above sea level, where it enjoys an ideal south-westerly exposure that guarantees the vines the best climatic conditions. Here, in a small but very valuable plot, the oldest plants date back to 1974. The soil, rich in ‘Marne di Sant'Agata,’ is composed of sand, clay and limestone. This mix of elements gives the wine a solid structure, great elegance and intense aromas. Harvesting, carried out strictly by hand, initiates careful processing. Maceration can last up to 40 days and takes place in large wooden vats. After vinification, the wine then matures for a good 20 months in large Slavonian oak barrels, acquiring softness and an important bouquet. Finally, after bottling, Barbaresco Ragajà continues with a period of refinement in the bottle lasting a good 26 months. In the glass, Rabajà has a beautiful intense garnet red colour. The bouquet recalls notes of ripe raspberries and mineral nuances, with herbaceous hints. In the mouth it reveals a good structure, with firm tannins and extraordinary persistence. Elegance and balance. A wine designed for long ageing, it retains its potential for decades. Indeed, its complexity and aromatic richness are destined to evolve further with the passing of the years.
