Rizzi Barbaresco Pajore 2020

The wines of Rizzi are crafted with elegance and finesse; this wine’s aromas capture that intent with black cherry, star anise, fresh bay leaf and sandalwood. Mixed berries both dried and preserved wrap around savory spices, black tea and an earthiness that plays in the background giving a darker finish. Fine tannins provide enough grip to hold the wine back enough so it does not get ahead of itself before it is ready. Drink 2026–2040.
