Barbaresco Riserva

Produced exclusively from old plantings in the Bas-Rabajà vineyard, after an astonishing 90-day submerged-cap fermentation, Luisin’s Barbaresco Riserva spends three and a half years in large Slavonian casks, which allows the wine—an even more powerfully structured voicing of Nebbiolo than their regular Rabajà, as befitting the cru’s character—to develop even greater depth and nuance, and while it certainly demands some patience, this is surprisingly expressive upon release.
