2019 Vietti Barbaresco Riserva Rabaja 750ml

Reviews: 96 points Wine Advocate, "Vietti worked in the Rabaja cru in the 1980s and has now returned to make this inaugural vintage of the latest wine to join the portfolio. And what a stunning wine it is. The 2019 Barbaresco Riserva Rabaja has plush, well-rounded fruit and a generous disposition with wild mountain blueberry, grenadine and watermelon candy. There are additional hints of resin, tar, linseed oil, fern or forest plant. The nose is one thing, but the palate is even more powerful, with very solid tannins, fresh acidity and generous fruit intensity. This Riserva fires on all cylinders. (ML)" 95 points Vinous, "The 2019 Barbaresco Riserva Rabaja is a new wine from Vietti. It soars out of the glass with a captivating bouquet redolent of crushed flowers, herbs, mint and orange peel. The aromatics alone are beguiling. Nervy and classic in build, with gorgeous inner sweetness, the 2019 is utterly irresistible. (AG)"
