A salty note lingers on the persistent finish

light licorice nuance

A structured and focused red with aromas of wild berries

its elegant minerality and its smoothness on the finish

This wine is extremely approachable now with an hour of air or so but should sail for several years in the cellar

Rizzi Barbaresco Nervo, Barbaresco DOCG, Italy 2020 Solano County A salty note lingers onThe Rizzi 2020 Barbaresco Nervo (with just 5,000 bottles made) reveals a lean and luminous appearance with a deep ruby shine. The bouquet is unexpected with crushed flower, cassis and a hint of cola or lavender essence. I also get a lot of tar, licorice and campfire ash. Nervo hits good balance between complexity and intensity, and although this vintage is accessible overall, it offers all the basic pleasures of Nebbiolo. 2024 2038 94 Pts Monica
