About
Rizzi Barbaresco Riserva DOCG "Boito" 2019 is a dry red wine made from Nebbiolo grapes, grown in the prestigious Barbaresco region of Piedmont, Italy. This Riserva originates from the "Boito" parcel within the Cru Pajorè vineyard, a site celebrated for its exceptional terroir and long-lived wines. Aged extensively in oak and in bottle, this Riserva showcases Rizzi’s dedication to traditional winemaking and depth of expression in Nebbiolo.
Producer
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.
Tasting notes
Rizzi Barbaresco Riserva “Boito” 2019 opens with an elegant bouquet of dried roses, dark cherries, and hints of licorice and tar. The palate reveals a full-bodied structure, with refined tannins, vibrant acidity, and complex layers of wild berries, tobacco, and earthy minerality. Its long, graceful finish highlights the wine’s aging potential and finesse.
Pairing
This Riserva pairs wonderfully with game meats, truffle-infused dishes, and aged cheeses, enhancing their depth and umami richness. It also complements hearty mushroom risottos or slow-cooked beef stew, allowing the wine’s structure and aromatic intensity to shine.

Nebbiolo
Nebbiolo wines tipically have rich, but elegant tannins, high acidity and unic scent – often characterized as "roses and tar". After a few years of vintage, most Nebbiolo wines begin fading from intensive ruby to a glorious brick orange color and developing flavors of mushroom, moss, leather and black pepper.
Barbaresco
Barbaresco wines are made from the Nebbiolo grape. Compared with the great neighbour Barolo these local wines are softer and ripen faster. These wines are loved for their wonderful combination of tenderness, subtlety and strength, as well as the strong and velvety aftertaste and the aroma of violets.
