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.

"Just mid ruby with orange tinges. Ethereally perfumed Amarena-cherry nose. Polished, juicy raspberry fruit with finely chiselled tannins that fill out the juicy fruit. Rather gorgeous."
92/100 JamesSuckling.com (2020 vintage)
"A solid, old-school Barolo that is broad and mouth-filling on the palate, with full body and velvety tannins. It offers aromas and flavours of ripe red fruit, ground spices, walnuts and moist earth. Polished and lingering finish. From biodynamically grown grapes with Demeter certification. Better after 2026."
