Rivetto Briccolina Barolo Riserva Cru 2016

Very precise on the palate with plenty of drive, the tannins are vivid and tightly meshed as the wine progresses, long, fruity finish.

Winemaker
Enrico Rivetto

Azienda Agricola Rivetto is a 4th generation winemaking family from the eastern hills of Serralunga d’Alba. The winery is located on top of the Lirano hills, 400 meters above sea level. The soil, from which the richness, power and elegance of their tannins derive, is typical of Serralunga. Rivetto has a deep respect for the land being organically certified and adopting biodynamic practices.

Organically Certified Briccolina is a biodynamically farmed cru vineyard. It is a bright ruby red, gentle bouquet of flowers and spices. The palate is dry and elegant with good structure for long ageing and delicate tannins.

Producer
Rivetto has made wine since 1902 and has farmed the Lirano hill between Serralunga d'Alba and Sinio since 1938. Fourth-generation Enrico Rivetto took over full-time in 1999, converted the estate to organic farming and then biodynamics, planting over a thousand trees, biological corridors, beehives and keeping donkeys for manure. In 2020 Rivetto became the first Demeter-certified estate in the Barolo and Barbaresco zones.
