Description
Barbera wines are generally known for their deep ruby colour, low tannins and high acidity, making them food friendly and approachable and the 2022 Froi from Massimo Rivetti is no exception. The organic Barbera grapes are sourced from a single vineyard surrounding the family estate, and the wine is aged in steel and cement tanks to preserve its freshness and straightforward character. The 2022 vintage is noted for its abundant fruitiness and expressive notes of black cherries, mulberries and light spices. Its clear structure and soft tannins make it easy to reach for another glass.

About the Estate
Massimo Rivetti is a renowned family-run winery based in Neive, in the heart of the Piedmont region of northwest Italy. The estate has a rich heritage, with five generations of winemaking experience, and is particularly recognised for its commitment to organic viticulture and traditional winemaking methods. The Massimo Rivetti family farm manages 25 hectares of vineyards, all cultivated under organic certification since 2009. The vineyards are grouped around three farmhouses: Froi, Garassino and Palazzina, with the main winery located on the Serraboella hill, a prestigious site for Barbaresco production. Vines range from 35 to 75 years old, among the oldest in the region, and all vineyard work is done by hand, including grass removal and mulching to reduce plant stress.
