A Barolo with great personality and intensity, an authentic expression of the Rivetto family’s artisanal craftsmanship. Produced exclusively from Nebbiolo grapes grown in the vineyards of Serralunga d’Alba, it ages for over 36 months in large oak barrels and subsequently in the bottle, achieving a perfect balance between power and elegance. The bouquet is complex and enveloping, with notes of ripe red fruits, wilted rose, licorice, leather, and sweet spices. On the palate, it is deep, structured, and harmonious, with dense yet polished tannins and an extremely long finish, characterized by warmth and minerality. The 2017 vintage was marked by hot, dry weather, which produced a Barolo with a more generous and mature profile. Low yields and rigorous selection in the vineyard ensured concentrated wines of great expressiveness. The 2017 Barolos display aromatic intensity, soft tannins, and a more approachable character compared to more classic vintages, while still maintaining excellent structure and aging potential.
Scores: 93 from James Suckling, 92 from Vinous
