Rizzi Barbaresco Pajorè 2020
Deep garnet in colour, the fragrant nose reveals floral notes of violet and rose, followed by strawberries, cherries and notes of leather and pepper on the palate. This is a Barbaresco that combines finesse and power, elegance and mineral.
Pajorè is one of the most historical and renowned crus in the Langhe hills, situated very close to Barbaresco town.
The must was fermented in temperature-controlled tanks for a period of about three to four weeks. Following alcoholic fermentation, the wine was racked and underwent malolactic fermentation, lasting for a month. The wine was then aged for twelve months in large Slavonian oak barrels, then concrete vats for six to nine months before bottling.

Rizzi is the name of a hill in Treiso, one of the three commune that makes up Barbaresco, and it was to this hill that entrepreneur Ernesto Dellapiana returned in 1974, exchanging his life in Turin for the chance to farm his historic family estate. Since then the vineyards have expanded to 44 hectares, including three hectares in the magnificent Pajorè cru, and the company is now run by Ernesto's two children, Enrico and Jole. The winery is simple, with concrete tanks for fermentation and large oak casks for ageing. The result - a traditional style with a modern sensibility, full yet delicate, and always expressing the magical floral perfume of Barbaresco.
