About

The 2022 “Rizzi” is a pure expression of Nebbiolo, sourced from the Rizzi cru — one of the most historic and well-exposed vineyard sites in the Barbaresco zone. This DOCG wine showcases the elegance and structure typical of the region, while the warm 2022 vintage adds a layer of ripeness and accessibility. Aged in large Slavonian oak casks, the wine captures the classic beauty of traditional Barbaresco.

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

Brilliant garnet in color. The nose reveals rose petals, cherry, raspberry, and notes of liquorice, spice, and earth. On the palate, it is elegant yet structured, with fine tannins, bright acidity, and a long, savory finish. The wine balances its aromatic finesse with depth and age-worthy complexity.

Pairing

Perfect with braised meats, wild game, mushroom risotto, and aged cheeses. Also excellent with truffle-based dishes and classic Piedmont cuisine.

Nebbiolo

All products from this varietal

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

All products from this village

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.
