Rivetto – Barbera d’Alba Loirano Soprano – 2013

The history of the Rivetto company begins in 1902, on the hill between Serralunga d’Alba and Sinio. A story made up of sacrifices, hard work and a lot of passion that passion handed down from generation to generation has reached Enrico the last heir. For the Rivetto family, wines have always had to contain the poetry of an ancient history and the relevance of a new philosophy at the same time, but above all they must respect the identity of the vine and its territory of origin. The last dream come true is that of Enrico’s open and far-sighted mind, who wanted to stand out and obtain the Demeter biodynamic certificate. Pioneer of a new movement in which there is no longer profit as a focal point, profit at any cost, willing to exploit any type of land, resources, work but a deep love for one’s land. The grapes used for this barbera come from the highest part of the Lirano hill, in the municipality of Sinio right on the border with Serralunga d’Alba. The perfect combination of the soil with the exposure of the vineyards allows the Rivetto winery to produce a wine of unique power and finesse. A barbera that is produced in very few quantities and only in the best years. What are you still waiting for ?!
