The vineyards are situated at an altitude between 235 and 315 metres, with a privileged exposure to the South and South-West. The roots of the old vines, which are over forty years old, draw nourishment from a \u003cstrong\u003ecalcareous-clay soil\u003c\/strong\u003e, a decisive factor for the wine's extractive richness. Viticulture follows \u003cstrong\u003eorganic and sustainable practices\u003c\/strong\u003e, using the Guyot training system to encourage slow and consistent ripening of the bunches.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eHow it is produced\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eProduction begins with a careful \u003cstrong\u003emanual harvest\u003c\/strong\u003e, followed by fermentation for about thirty days in \u003cstrong\u003eold cement vats\u003c\/strong\u003e. Subsequently, the wine matures for a period between twenty and twenty-two months in traditional \u003cstrong\u003eused Slavonian oak barrels\u003c\/strong\u003e, an essential step to refine its organoleptic components. A final ageing in bottle for at least ten months stabilises its dry profile and flavour texture, preparing the wine for an extraordinary ageing capacity that can exceed a decade.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eHistory and Curiosities\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBorn from the passion of a historic Piedmontese family, Barbaresco Rabajà represents the excellence of the region thanks to grapes sourced from \u003cstrong\u003eold vineyards\u003c\/strong\u003e cultivated with strict organic care.
