BARBARESCO "RIZZI" “The classicism of the Barbaresco”
The Barbaresco wine is produced from Nebbiolo grapes harvested in the Crü Rizzi. Our winery could only benefit the blending of different vineyards, different for the age, for exposure, for characteristic that every plot can give to the wine. The Rizzi vineyards is extensive, so it is not surprise that within it, there are substantial variations in aspect and altitude.
It’s for this that our Barbaresco is so particular, and the Rizzi hill is incontestably one of the most famous in the Langhe area.
