Rivetto – Barolo del Comune di Serralunga d’Alba – 2012 – MG

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. From the best grapes from the crus of Serra, Manocino and San Bernardo in the municipality of Serralunga, from plants in excellent exposure at an average altitude of 350 meters, the Rivetto winery produces a pleasantly territorial Barolo. Great expressive solidity, excellent balance and at the same time capable of a long evolution in the bottle. A very prestigious red. 2012, a cooler vintage that gave us great wines played on verticality and slightly rough tannins, but with a pleasant freshness and excellent complexity.
