Rabajà sits where Barbaresco's two main ridges meet. One runs west toward the Tanaro and carries less calcium the further it goes; the other runs north to Ovello and carries more. The producer credits that meeting of soils for the cru's complexity. The 3.7 hectares here face south-west on calcareous limestone with sandy veins, and the fruit came from vines owned by nine of the co-op's member families, including Bianco, Lembo and Vacca. The winemaking is unhurried and old-school: 28 days on the skins, then at least 30 months in large 25–50 hl oak barrels before bottling in June 2021. The producer calls 2017 an elegant, medium-bodied year for this wine and gives it 20 years from the vintage. These single-vineyard Riservas are still among the best values in cellar-worthy wine anywhere. A magnum, the format collectors prize for slower aging, also makes a proper centerpiece for the table.","brand":"Private","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50525010821177,"sku":"NYC-[CNSN]-TTSUMMER0826-092226-280-33","price":189.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0125\/1518\/0601\/files\/Produttori-del-Barbaresco-Barbaresco-Riserva-Rabaja-2017-1_5L-Red-Wine-Flatiron-Wines-Spirits-New-York.jpg?v=1790154992","url":"https:\/\/nyc.flatiron-wines.com\/products\/produttori-del-barbaresco-barbaresco-riserva-rabaja-2017-1-5l","provider":"Flatiron Wines \u0026 Spirits NYC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
