BARBARESCO RIZZI "BOITO" “The strength and the austerity of Barbaresco”
The Wine Barbaresco “Boito” is born from the selection of the best grapes product in the vineyard Bricco Boito - Vigna Grande del Boito, in the upper part of the big Crü Rizzi. The exposition of this vineyard is south, south-west and just before the Cascina Rizzi, where Rizzi winery is located, the slope turns to face southwards. The soil composition of this vineyard is characterized by white marl clayey- calcareous. It’s a deep soil with a clay vein that cuts within the whole hill, and that gives this wine great elegance, tannic structure, inimitable perfumes and great longevity.
