Enrico Rivetto is the first and only certified biodynamic producer in the Barolo region. Ideally situated on a hillside (called Lirano) overlooking the famous village of Serralunga, his vineyards are a homage to sustainable, natural winemaking.
Rivetto’s vineyards literally straddle the easternmost border of the Barolo region. This blend of 97% Nebbiolo and 3% Barbera comes from a mix of vines grown partly in the designated Barolo region and the remainder grown a few steps to the east – but outside the official Barolo region – which means it must be declassified as “Langhe” Nebbiolo.
The wine has a pale red colour with fresh acidity and firm tannins. As it opens up in the glass, it reveals a complex array of floral, wild raspberry and cherry aromas. Elegant, pure and refined, this “baby Barolo” was bottled under screwcap to retain maximum freshness.
The 2021 vintage was fantastic in the Langhe region! 20,000bts were produced. Drink 2023-2027.
Serve with pasta in a ragu sauce or a steak tartare
