Fragrant and easy-going, this is an excellent everday Nebbiolo with its elegant aromas of floral-tinged red berries, balsam herbs and subtle spice aromas. Its lifting brightness and gentle grip of tannins makes it a flexible food partner for things like cheeses, cured meats, risottos, and citrusy grilled chicken and veggies.
"Famiglia Rivetti Langhe Nebbiolo DOC is made with 100% Nebbiolo grapes from one of the highest fields in the area at more than 500 meters above sea level. Aged for one year in Slavonian oak...
"Natural fermentation with indigenous yeasts is used to represent the varietal and terroir. The flavor of the grapes is preserved through minimal use of sulfites and no filtration on the red wines...
"The Rivetti family has been in the wine business for five generations. In the 1960s, 70s, and 80s they were selling grapes and juice to other wineries. By working with some of the most prestigious wineries in the area, the family learned extensively about quality grape growing and winemaking. In 2000, they decided to start making their own wines and in 2001, produced their first vintage. Now, the winery is run by Massimo, his wife and the three sons. Famiglia Rivetti is the creative expression of his three sons, led by Davide Rivetti. He is committed to balancing tradition with modernity." - WINERY NOTES
