Rizzi Barbaresco “Pajore” – 2016

From one of the most famous vineyards in Barbaresco, this has beautiful, sensual aromas of violets and roses. On the palate it has very crisp red fruit flavours – raspberry and strawberry – with notes of leather, spice, black pepper, cloves, and licorice. It is full and mellow, very balanced, with a nice tannic structure. It’s a Barbaresco that combines finesse and power, elegance and minerality.
