Thanks to the wine's natural tannic grip and structure, I suggest a longer drinking window for this expression. The Rabajà will require more time in bottle. At this young stage, it displays a pretty ensemble of dark berries, crushed rose, white stone and dusty licorice root. Patience is required here.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c!-- Vineyard Bullet 1 --\u003e\n\u003cli style=\"margin-bottom: 12px;\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eThe Majestic Rabajà Terroir:\u003c\/strong\u003e Rabajà is revered alongside Asili as Barbaresco's premier single vineyard.
