Perched on the panoramic hilltop of Rizzi in Treiso, after which this estate gets its name, Cantina Rizzi is owned and managed by the Dellapiana family. The winery has long been revered as one of the leading wine estates in the region, and spans across one of the best sites in the Barbaresco DOCG.

Bright ruby red in color with clear crimson highlights. Deep, full perfumes, elegant, well-balanced and enduring, reminiscent of rose, undergrowth and oriental spices. Very powerful bouquet. Fine structure accompanied by lively acidic freshness, sweetened by overall softness. Flavors conjure up morello cherry and plum jam with a long finish.
