Transparent ruby. Compact and closed and no sign of age at all. Very fine cherry and raspberry and a hint of cinnamon bark. Same elegant, fluid style but finer and with waves and waves of grainy tannin. Very fresh and elegant, and can be approached now, but the tannin really needs more time to mellow out. (WS)

The 2006 Barbaresco Boito offers up plums, spices, new leather and sweet tobacco on a medium-bodied frame. The wine shows lovely focus and firm, yet well-balanced tannins in a relatively delicate style of Barbaresco. Anticipated maturity: 2011-2018. The Dellapiana family owns some of the most highly regarded vineyards in all of Barbaresco. These classically-styled wines fall into the lighter end of the spectrum in the region. I have been tasting the Rizzi Barbarescos now for a number of years and I always come away with the same impression; with a little more care in the vineyards and lower yields these wines could make a significant jump in quality.
