Rizzi - Barbaresco RIZZI DOCG 2014

Today the family business of son Enrico and daughter Jole, founded by Ernesto Dellapiana in 1974, is managed.

Enrico, with his education at the wine school Turin and Alba, takes care of the vineyards and the wine cellar.

For the Barbaresco Rizzi only Nebbiolo grapes from the approximately 8 ha of the Cru Rizzi are used. The ground, height and orientation in this cru is so diverse that this location is among the most famous of the Langhe.
