Produttori Del Barbaresco Barbaresco Rabaja Riserva 750ML 2021

"Good full red-ruby. Very deep, brooding aromas of red and black cherry, cocoa, candied violet, earth tones, star anise, camphor and sandalwood. It’s less tannic than the Produttori’s 2021 Riserva Montefico in the mouth, but boasts terrific grip and suave tannins like no other 2021 Riserva wine in the lineup. Finishes long, clean and multilayered with flavours of chocolate, minerals and woodsy underbrush. Fantastic stuff, really. Readers should take note of the fact that the Produttori unfortunately lost a source of their Rabajà grapes, as one individual sold his vines to Roagna. So while the Produttori currently make their Riserva Rabajà wine from the grapes of six growers, starting in 2025 this will whittle down to only five growers."-Ian D'Agata

"There’s a core of cherry, raspberry, rose, earth and eucalyptus in this powerful yet reserved Barbaresco. Flashes of orange peel and amaro emerge as the vivid acidity kicks in. The tannins are accordingly dense, and this shuts down on the finish today. Nevertheless, there’s a majesty to this red and the sense of a thoroughbred waiting to emerge."-Bruce Sanderson

"The 2021 Barbaresco Riserva Rabajà is dark, powerful and explosive. That's the good news. Readers will have to be patient with this brooding, sepia-toned Barbaresco. Dark fruit, graphite, new leather, licorice, scorched earth and gravel add to an impression of muscular gravitas. The 2021 needs a bit of time in the glass to start opening, but when it does, it's magnificent."-Antonio Galloni
