title: Castello di Verduno 2012 Rabajà  (Barbaresco)
description: The nose is rather closed but eventually reveals red berry, rose, cake spice and a whiff of leather. It's young but balanced, with bracing tannins and bright acidity that support the tart sour cherry, white pepper and sage flavors. It closes on a mocha note. Drink 2018–2027.
variety: Nebbiolo
designation: Rabajà
