Rizzi Barbaresco Reserva DOCG “Boito” 2016

Rizzi Barbaresco Riserva DOCG "Boito" is a dry red wine, made from 100% Nebbiolo grapes, sourced from the prestigious Barbaresco appellation in the Piedmont region of Italy. This Riserva wine is aged for an extended period, allowing it to develop greater complexity and depth, reflecting the exceptional quality and terroir of the Boito vineyard. Rizzi is known for its dedication to traditional winemaking practices, producing wines that are elegant and expressive.

Ernesto Dellapiana founded the winery on an 18th century family estate in 1974. Having absorbed a deep love for the land and viticulture since childhood, in 1973 he made the decision to leave the city (as well as the lucrative paper business) and return to the love of his life - in the Langhe region with difficult mountain slopes. Over the years, he devoted all his efforts to the development and improvement of his enterprise, the quality and quantity of products produced, as a result, turning the winery with 36 hectares of vineyards into one of the largest, interesting and significant wine houses in the Barbaresco region. In recent years, Ernesto's children, daughter Jollet and son Enrico, have taken an active part in the work of the winery.

Rizzi Barbaresco Riserva DOCG “Boito” reveal a complex bouquet of red cherries, rose petals, and dried herbs, complemented by hints of tobacco, truffle, and spice.

This Nebbiolo is celebrated for its balance, intensity, and the harmonious integration of fruit, floral, and savory elements.

Rizzi Barbaresco Riserva DOCG “Boito” pairs beautifully with rich meat dishes such as braised beef, lamb, or venison, where its structure and complexity enhance the savory flavors.
