Rivetto Langhe Nebbiolo 2016
Langhe, Cuneo, Piedmont, ItalyYouthful, energetic, travelled Enrico Rivetto farms his family's estate with a philosophy beyond biodynamics, and towards complete biodiversity. This nebbiolo, tipped with 5 percent barbera, comes from a west facing vineyard planted 340-400m on clay and limestone at the top of Lirano Hill, between Sinio and Serralunga d’Alba. Native fermented in stainless. This streams youthful strawberry, roses, herbal mustard seed, with a gentle pillow of raspberry filling the core. Fine, grippy tannins house the light, long, and nimble frame. This was their first certified organic vintage.Tasted: 29 May 2019Tasted by: Treve RingPrices:ON | $38.95 | 750ml | consignment |
