Bruno Rocca Barbaresco Rabaja Woodenbox 3L 2019 ravensworth and citrus peelThe 2019 Barbaresco Rabaj shows more heft and concentration next to the Curr. The site has white and gray marl soils. This wine reveals a beautiful bouquet with dark currant, plum, iron ore and evident spice with hints of tobacco leaf. You also detect a hint of white pepper. This more robust style gives Rabaj bigger pairing potential with meat dishes and some of the traditional wintery foods of Piedmont, like stracotto di Fassona (braised beef).
