Boasting a deep youthful red color and a very complete nose at this early tasting, the 2020 Barbaresco Riserva Rabaja is brooding with dark aromas of ripe cherry, espresso crema, and leather, balanced with brighter highlights of red flowers, dusty earth, and fresh mint. The palate has a good deal of focus on the palate, with ripe and precise acidity, refined tannins, and a long finish. It is an impressive wine that I would encourage readers to seek out. Drink 2025-2050. (AF)

Showing great structure and balance, the radiant Rabajà entices with intense aromas of forest berry, underbrush, new leather and dark spice. It’s full-bodied and delicious, delivering succulent Morello cherry, black raspberry and layers of dark spice. Firm tannins grip the finish.

The 2020 Barbaresco Riserva Rabajà is another stellar wine in this range. Dark and explosive, the 2021 possesses notable richness to match its dark, brooding personality. Black cherry, plum, leather, cloves, menthol, licorice and gravel explode onto the palate. The 2020 will require a measure of patience, but it has a ton of potential. (AG)

In this vintage, the Rabajà was served last in a series of nine Riservas; that's because it shows the most structure and power over a very defined and sharp mouthfeel. The Produttori del Barbaresco 2020 Barbaresco Riserva Rabajà is streamlined and tight and a wine of enormous energy. The fruit is crunchy and tight with cassis and blackberry. A pretty mineral note defines Rabajà, giving it a chalky or powdery sensations on the close. (ML)

The crown jewel. The vineyard Rabajà stands between Asili and Muncagota to produce wines that unite strength with sophistication. This wine achieves its status as an appellation benchmark because it features deep fruit notes alongside multiple aromatic layers and flawless structure.

Notes

Produttori del Barbaresco’s Rabajà Barbaresco Riserva 2020 is a powerful and structured expression of Nebbiolo, showcasing depth, complexity, and age-worthy precision. The nose is intense and layered, revealing aromas of red cherry, black raspberry, and dried rose, intertwined with notes of licorice, tobacco, and crushed stone. The palate is bold yet refined, offering concentrated red fruit, firm yet elegant tannins, and a deep mineral core, all balanced by vibrant acidity. A long, resonant finish lingers with nuances of balsamic, cedar, and earthy spice.
