Professional Reviews

Antonio Galloni

AG 94
"The 2017 Barbaresco Rabajà is superb. Dark, ample and explosive, the 2017 offers tons of site character amplified by the warmth of the growing season. Black cherry, graphite, plum, incense, new leather and dried herbs build effortlessly in the glass. This dramatic Barbaresco is positively stellar." -Antonio Galloni

Wine Spectator

WS 92
"This red is high strung, with floral, strawberry, currant and earth notes drawn tight against the vivid acidity and assertive tannins. The fruit flavors tend to the macerated side, while it finishes fresh and long. Best from 2023 through 2036."

What importer Rosenthal Wine Merchant has to say about this wine...

The fabled Rabajà cru in Barbaresco, within which the Luisin winery itself is situated, borders Asili to the southwest, but the differences in character between the two are striking: Rabajà is brooding and earthy where Asili is bright and mineral, and Luisin’s version of Rabajà is arguably the more complex and long-lasting of the two, even if their Asili can be more winning (particularly in youth). As densely constructed and structurally imposing as this is, however, the fruit remains stunningly vibrant and pure—a testament to Roberto’s deeply felt and intuitive touch with extraction and tannin management.
