Barbaresco Nervo, Cantina Rizzi 2020

Tasting Notes

Enticingly fragrant, the 2020 Nervo from Rizzi opens with heady aromas of crushed berry, Alpine herb, pressed rose and whiffs of new leather and spice. Elegantly structured and savory, the full-bodied palate features ripe raspberry, juicy cherry, star anise, hints of baking spice and blood orange. Taut refined tannins and fresh acidity keep it well balanced. Drink 2026–2035.

Treiso. Lustrous mid ruby. Firm, aromatic cherry nose of real concentration – something this vintage is regularly short of. Great purity of fruit and with a long, juicy, perfumed fruit finish with crunchy tannins.
