Natalie's Score: 93/100

Rizzi 2018 Barbaresco is a mouth-watering 100% Nebbiolo. Deep red in the glass and fragrant with wild berry, earthy florals and a touch of oak spice aromas, produced from grapes sourced from the Langhe wine region. A little shy on the palate and needs some time to open up, but the bright red berry fruit, dried herbs, dark spices and rich tannins are very promising on this elegant Barbaresco.

Barbaresco food pairings: prime rib steak, venison stew, grilled game sausage, roast goose.
