Rivetto Barbera d'Alba Zio Nando 2016
Alba, Cuneo, Piedmont, ItalyYouthful, energetic, travelled Enrico Rivetto farms his family's estate with a philosophy beyond biodynamics, and towards complete biodiversity. Zio translates to uncle in Italian, and the vineyard that forms an important part of this wine was planted by Uncle Nando in 1944. This youthful red uses one third of 1944 vines from a vineyard planted at 365m, on sandy, western-facing slopes. Native fermented in stainless. Cherry and plum fill the vibrant palate, bright with acidity, seasoned with peppery herbs, and hemmed with lightly grippy sides. Joyous.Tasted: 29 May 2019Tasted by: Treve RingPrices:| ON | $47.95 | 750ml | consignment |
