WINE DESCRIPTION

Rizzi Barbaresco is a premium wine produced by the Rizzi Winery, located in the Piedmont region of Italy. The wine is made from Nebbiolo grapes grown in the Barbaresco appellation, which is known for its high-quality wines. The vineyards are situated on steep hillsides with a south-facing exposure, which allows for optimal ripening of the grapes. The winemaking process involves traditional techniques, including long maceration and aging in oak barrels, resulting in a complex and elegant wine with notes of red fruit, spices, and earthy undertones. Rizzi Barbaresco is a perfect example of the classic style of Barbaresco wines, with a balance of fruit, tannins, and acidity that make it a great pairing for rich dishes and aged cheeses.
