The site has white and gray marl soils. This wine reveals a beautiful bouquet with dark currant, plum, iron ore and evident spice with hints of tobacco leaf. You also detect a hint of white pepper. This more robust style gives Rabajà bigger pairing potential with meat dishes and some of the traditional wintery foods of Piedmont, like stracotto di Fassona (braised beef). Production is 6,000 bottles.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"sc-jounMn cnxUjl\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAntonio Galloni, Vinous September 2022 - 94P:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"sc-jounMn cnxUjl\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThe 2019 Barbaresco Rabajà comes across as quite delicate and shy. I had hoped the 2019 would open more over the last year, but that has not happened, at least not yet. Even so, there is good energy and plenty of drive. The 2019 is marked by a distinctly red-toned fruit profile. A whole range of floral, savory and citrus accents add complexity through to the finish. This fruit came in on October 16, late by today's standards.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"sc-jounMn cnxUjl\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eGeneral Information:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBruno Rocca is a prestigious family-run wine estate located in Barbaresco, Piedmont, with a winemaking heritage dating back to 1834.
