RIVETTO BAROLO del COMUNE di SERRALUNGA d’ALBA DOCG 2019

The Rivetto family wine business began in 1902 and is now in the hands of fourth generation Enrico Rivetto, whose winemaking philosophy is one of minimum intervention and maximum respect for the vineyard. No synthetic chemicals are used in the vineyards and the vine rows are planted with native grasses and legumes.

Situated between the villages of Serralunga and Sinio, under Enrico’s leadership, Rivetto has gone from strength to strength, producing elegant, supple and very drinkable examples of the best Piedmont has to offer.

This red wine comes from selected vineyards in the Serralunga d’Alba area. It is refined in traditional big (30 hl) Slavonia oak casks for at least 30 months. In the mouth it is pleasant with a soft tannin taste, never aggressive. Suitable for long ageing but can be drunk after 3 years of ageing. It has a nice fruity bouquet that guarantees very good drinkability.

95/100 Wine Enthusiast (2019 Vintage)
"Intensely fragrant, this stunner has enticing scents of crushed mint, rose a hint of pine forest and a potpourri of spice. Made with organically farmed grapes, it's linear, with knife-like precision that frames pomegranate, red cherry, licorice and tobacco. Tightly-knit, fine-grained tannins and bright acidity keep balanced."
