Rizzi Langhe Nebbiolo 2022
Bright ruby red in colour, the wine has a floral nose, with hints of spice. On the palate, it has a fine tannin structure, with pleasing fresh acidity and elegant red fruits.
The grapes for this wine come from vineyards planted with south, south-west exposure on white marls and calcareous clay soils. The vines here were planted between 1995 and 2015.
The grapes were handpicked into small crates at the beginning of October and following thorough sorting, fermentation took place in temperature-controlled tanks for roughly three weeks. The wine was then racked and went through malolactic fermentation. The wine was then aged for twelve months in large Slavonian barrels.

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.
