Bruno Giacosa, Barbaresco Rabaja other_regions Made after very long ageing

Made after very long ageing in different oak vats and barrels

While there is still a moderate amount of unresolved tannins remaining

with the 2011 Flaccianello della Pieve appearing a bit softer and plumper around the midsection

Bruno Giacosa, Barbaresco Rabaja other_regions Made after very long ageingThe 2004 Barbaresco Rabaj is a total head turner. In this tasting, its only competition is the Asili Red Label. Even so, the Rabaj is an absolutely captivating, vivid wine from the first taste. Vertical and imposing in its sense of structure, with explosive energy to back things up, the Rabaj simply has it all. Scents of lavender, exotic spices and dark fruit add to the wine's total allure and seductive power. Antonio Galloni
