2011 Produttori del Barbaresco, Barbaresco Riserva Rabaja 1.5L (mag)

Rabaja - First produced as a single vineyard in 1970

Rabajà produces a quintessential Barbaresco, one of the most complete and balanced of the single vineyards. The vineyard lays at the intersection of the two main ridges that form the Barbaresco village. One going West towards the Tanaro River (with progressively less calcium and higher fertility in the soil) and the other going towards Ovello (with higher calcium content in the soil). The meeting of these two different soils give Rabajà its incredible complexity. Bordering both Asili and Muncagota it combines the personality of those two great vineyards with and extra richness due to the warm South/West exposure.
