I am less impressed by the 2014 Barbaresco Rabajà, which feels especially lean and loose on this vintage. The wine offers a faint ruby hue, and it does not have the textural fiber that you should expect of Nebbiolo. There is a flash of bitterness on the close. This was not an easy vintage, and this interpretation of the excellent Rabajà vintage seems to have taken some hits from the unfavorable weather patterns.

A pure, racy style, boasting floral, cherry, currant and spice flavors. Picks up some earth and tobacco elements as the finish lingers. Best from 2021 through 2032. 1,400 cases made, 250 cases imported.??–BS??Region: Italy / Piedmont / Barbaresco Select to Add
