The grapes come from the single vineyard MGA ‘Rabajà’ in the municipality of Barbaresco. The 2019 is the first vintage of this reserve; it also represents a return for Vietti who had been vinifying Rabajà since the 1980s. The soil is calcareous-clayey, with exposure to the south/south-west and an altitude of approximately 235-315m a.s.l. The average age of the vineyards is approximately 51 years, cultivated using the Guyot system. The density is approximately 5,200 plants per hectare.
Harvesting of the grapes was carried out strictly by hand on October 11, 2019. Alcoholic fermentation lasts approximately 3 weeks in a steel vat in contact with the skins, with regular remountings. This time includes the pre-fermentation maceration and the post-fermentation maceration that takes place using the traditional submerged-cap method. Malolactic fermentation is carried out in wood.
30 months in red oak barrels: Intense ruby red
Flavour: The nose is rich and delicate. Floral notes such as rose hips and violets are perceived, as well as ripe fruit such as cherry and black cherry.
Taste: On the palate it is fresh and enveloping. The tannins are mature, soft, silky, well integrated and give the wine good structure and great elegance. Overall very balanced and refined with a long and persistent finish.
