Produttori del Barbaresco, Barbaresco Riserva Rabaja, 2013
Rabaja is one of Barbaresco's most celebrated crus, a south-facing amphitheater of calcareous marl that yields some of the village's most complete and long-lived wines, and this Produttori del Barbaresco Riserva is single-vineyard Nebbiolo of the kind that's among the great values in cellar-worthy wine, delicious at 5, 10, 20, even 30 years. Rabaja brings power and perfume in equal measure. The 2013 was a classic, structured vintage with cooler conditions and a late harvest, giving wines of vibrant acidity, firm tannins and serious aging potential, a more traditional, ageworthy style. This Riserva is built for the long haul: gorgeous with a generous decant now, but with years of evolution ahead. Getting to know these adjacent crus is one of wine's greatest experiences.
