{"product_id":"barbaresco-rabaja-produttori-del-barbaresco-1999","title":"Rabaja' Barbaresco Riserva 1999","description":"\u003cp\u003eProduttori del Barbaresco is widely recognized as one of the most respected wine cooperatives in the world. While the modern iteration was founded in 1958 by local viticulturists, its deeper history traces back to 1894 when Domizio Cavazza, the director of the local enological school, established the first cooperative in the area. Today, the cooperative consists of 51 members who collectively own 110 hectares of land. This acreage is situated entirely within the Barbaresco zone and is exclusively planted with the Nebbiolo grape. Under the direction of Aldo Vacca, who has led the cooperative since 1991, the estate is celebrated for its nine single-vineyard crus that map the terroir of the appellation.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe Rabajà Barbaresco Riserva 1999 is a Denominazione di Origine Controllata e Garantita wine crafted entirely from Nebbiolo. It originates from the specific Rabajà vineyard, which is carefully tended by a dedicated group of proprietors, including Alutto, Antona, Arossa, Lignana, Manzone, Rocca, Vacca, and Vezza. According to the estate's traditional methods, during the best harvests, a portion of the wine sourced from these renowned central localities is designated as a Riserva after reaching its fourth year of aging. For this specific release, a total of 15,750 bottles were produced.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis wine is rooted in Piemonte, a prestigious region in northwestern Italy bordered by the Alps. The landscape is defined by dramatic, steep hills, particularly in the Langhe subregion east of Alba, where the classic Barbaresco area is located. During autumn, these hills are frequently blanketed in thick morning fog, which protects the Nebbiolo grapes and facilitates a long, steady ripening process. This unique microclimate greatly influenced the 1999 vintage, which is noted for being elegant and was awarded a score of 92 points. Nebbiolo, the signature grape of the region, remains the exclusive foundation for the renowned wines of Barbaresco and Barolo.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Produttori del Barbaresco","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57447461716294,"sku":null,"price":405.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0646\/3478\/1950\/files\/generated-1394_a9e97383-75fc-41c7-b3b1-ff6bfb69aa6c.jpg?v=1790243380","url":"https:\/\/bottleswithhistory.nl\/en\/products\/barbaresco-rabaja-produttori-del-barbaresco-1999","provider":"Bottles With History","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
