Bruno Giacosa Barbaresco Rabajà 2013
Giacosa bottled a Barbaresco Rabajà from 1996 until 2005.
That parcel was classified as Asili by new laws which made vineyard boundaries precise.
This wine is from a different parcel of vines which Giacosa purchased and began bottling in 2013.
Note that these labels no longer have the village name on the label.
That is, these say just Rabajà
rather than Rabajà di Barbaresco
as in the past.
Also, the individual numbering of bottles is gone as well.
All of this is the result of the winery's interpretation of government regulations
which started in 2010.
