| Notes | "Here's one of those fun occasions when a private estate name matches the MGA vineyard name. With fruit from the village of Treiso, the Rizzi 2019 Barbaresco Rizzi is austere and compact with a rich display of dark cherry and currant. Pretty layers of spice and leather fill in at the back, giving this wine a stronger sense of power and momentum. This vintage came out very nicely." (Wine Advocate) | |||
Additional Notes "Red berry, blue flower and ground nutmeg aromas come to the forefront. Linear and already accessible, the palate offers sour cherry, spiced cranberry and star anise accompanied by fine-grained tannins and fresh acidity. Drink through 2029." (Wine Enthusiast) |
