Vietti - Barbaresco Riserva Rabaja 2020 (750ml) (Pre-arrival) (750ml)
Vinous: 95 Points
The 2020 Barbaresco Riserva Rabajà is magnificent. A wine of crystalline precision and nuance the 2020 bristles with energy. Slate crushed rocks orange peel mint cinnamon and dried flowers all race across the palate. This intensely saline taut Barbaresco needs a number of years in bottle to be at its best even if it is pretty alluring right now. - By Antonio Galloni on January 2025
vWine Advocate: 94 Points
This plot was purchased in 2019 and this is therefore the second vintage made. The Vietti 2020 Barbaresco Riserva Rabajà is spicy juicy and accessible with some sweetness on the tannins. The wine sports Mediterranean warmth from within with black cherry spice and grilled rosemary. There is a saline-mineral touch as well that adds elegance but all said in done this wine is more immediate in delivery. The 2020 vintage is bookended by two superior vintages the 2019 and 2021. Only 2152 bottles were made.
