Product Description

Product Details

Style: Savoury & Detailed


Cantine Rizzi is one of the most impressive estate's in Piemonte. Since 1974 the Dellapiano family (led by Ernesto and now son Enrico) have been producing a variety of wines including Barbera, Dolcetto, Sparkling, Chardonnay and most importantly four single site and selection-based Barbarescos. Generally, though the style is for wines that are aromatically lifted and pure and have an almost tender elegance and lilting accessibility about them. In part this can be put down to the gentle extraction of tannins (no plunging of the cap here, only pump over). They are not without structure though and this aspect builds as you progress through the hierarchy from the open and feminine Rizzi through to the more deeply pitched Pajore, Nervo and Boito. To me, they showcase the best aspects of traditionally made nebbiolo in that they are aromatically pure and clean without any overlay of French oak. They are not statuesque Gaja-styled Barbarescos, rather they are wines unashamedly of their place and the variety. MICHAEL MCNAMARA


There's a lightness and nervy spine to the core of maraschino cherries and licorice - a feature of the sandy soils perhaps. At the moment it feels a little tense, there's a swell of flavours at the fore, but it needs time. Tobacco and balsamic earthy notes balance the berries and dry spices. This is finely tuned and packed with excitement, but tuck it away and it will reward with a few years under its belt. GABRIELLE POY
