Barbaresco Rizzi – 2023
Region: italy - piedmont
Rizzi
Nestled at the very top of the impressively steep, vine-clad hills of the Treiso zone of Barbaresco, the winery’s vineyards were planted as early as the 1960’s in the white marl, calcareous soil typical of this area. An impressive selection of cru Barbaresci is punctuated by the spectacular Vigna Boito located at the peak of the Rizzi cru. The estate is managed entirely by the Dellapiana family with son Enrico as winemaker and viticulturist. Rizzi Winery participates in “The Green Experience” project which mandates guidelines for environmentally sustainable production.

A spicy wine with a lot of licorice root, cinnamon, watermelon, red currants and dried roses on the nose. Light- to medium-bodied, this has a juicy palate and firm, dusty yet integrated tannins. Drinkable now but best from 2027.

Treiso. Cask sample.
Very pale ruby. Still very tight and closed on the nose. Surprising richness of raspberry and sweet cranberry fruit on the palate and supported by gripping tannins. Still a little unpolished, but showing real promise. 2026 – 2034
