Rivetto Barolo Leon Riserva 2013

Barolo, Cuneo, Piedmont, ItalyYouthful, energetic, travelled Enrico Rivetto farms his family's estate with a philosophy beyond biodynamics, and towards complete biodiversity. This is a cellar selection of their best barrels, chosen for their potential for longevity. Leon Riserva aged for a total of 5 years at their estate before release. Deep and muscular, with evident oak time, swings of balsamic, brooding cherry, dried cherry and savoury cured meats. Tannins are strident and grippy even still. For the 2014 vintage, the winery will hold it back one decade prior to release. Enrico advises that this wine will be at its best after two decades cellaring.Tasted: 29 May 2019Tasted by: Treve RingPrices:
