2021 Castello di Verduno Rabajà Barbaresco (PRE-ARRIVAL ONLY)
Pre-arrival price only, wine will be $205 when landed.
Very limited just 60 bottles for Australia.
A superb release from an outstanding vintage - such is its structure it was held back for release until after the 2022 vintage.
95 Points, Kerin O’Keefe – “Perfumed with iris, violet, sandalwood, berry and eucalyptus, the 2021 Rabajà from Castello di Verduno is a stunner. Smooth full-bodied and savory, the palate offers raspberry compote, vanilla mocha and clove alongside tightly woven, polished tannins. It’s already tempting but will be event better in a few years.”
17+/20 Points, Jancis Robinson (Walter Speller) – “Barbaresco. Just mid ruby. Savoury and a little closed on the fruit. Juicy palate with a fine, powdery tannic grip. Lots of acidity but not biting. Long and finely balanced.”
95 Points, Wine Enthusiast – “Red fruit lifted and bright as an opening line that grabs you immediately and won't let go, where tart cherry and strawberry give the nose a freshness that feels almost literary in its clarity. The palate follows with the kind of depth and dark complexity that belongs to writers who understand time, where refined tannins and structured earth build a story that is nowhere near its final chapter. Cellar this one with patience and intention.” Drink Now - 2045
