Description

This exceptional, classically styled Barbaresco from Massimo Rivetti emphasises elegance, red fruit character and a harmonious balance of flavours. Matured for two years in large Slavonian oak barrels of 2,500 litres, it is well suited for those seeking a refined expression of Nebbiolo from the Piedmont region. Bright garnet red with amber hues, this Barbaresco offers expressive aromas of wild violets, cherry liqueur and fine spices. The palate is elegant yet powerful, with fresh acidity, silky tannins, and a long pleasantly lingering finish.

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.
