Bruno Giacosa Barbaresco Rabaja 2020
"Rabajà represents one of the most important single vineyards of Barbaresco. Bruno Giacosa's vineyards are comprised of 0.6 hectares, planted in calcareous clay soils.
Red garnet in color. The bouquet is complex with spicy notes, violets, and fresh red fruit. The palate is structured and full-bodied with fine tannins culminating in a persistent finish.
When comparing the 2020 vintage to the previous ones, we can note an early budding which was caused by a mild winter with regular rain and above average temperatures. Subsequently, thanks to a good water supply, due to a well distributed medium intensity of rainfall, and temperatures that reached seasonal averages, the vines were able to develop regularly during all of the phenological phases. All of this allowed a good control of fungal pathogens (oidiums and Peronospora) in the vineyards." -Supplier notes
