Rizzi 2021 Barbaresco "Nervo" 750ml

Appellation: Barbaresco DOCG (Nervo cru)
Grape Variety: 100% Nebbiolo

Ruby red in color, the 2021 Barbaresco Nervo is fruity on opening, with aromas of raspberries, roses, sweet tea leaf, and wet stones. Medium-bodied, it's tangy and bright on the palate, with ripe tannins and good ripeness through the rather long, chalky finish. It's another very well-styled Barbaresco that will be best enjoyed between 2026 and 2036.

Score: 93 points - Audrey Frick, JebDunnuck.com, 2024

Pairing: Pair with roasted duck breast or a hearty plate of tajarin with wild mushrooms.
