Rivetto Langhe Organic Nebbiolo 2017 (Italy)

Description

• European oak
• Dark red fruit
• Good concentration
• Smooth tannins

An extremely pleasing and drinkable wine, and although it has a high alcohol grade this never overpowers its fruity character. Its red colour has Bordeaux reflections and the slow trickle from the edge of the glass confirms its optimal concentration and good body. The palate is caressed by a smooth tannin content typical of the Nebbiolo grape and by a warm and enveloping flavour.

Situated at the top of Lirano Hill, between Sinio and Serralunga d’Alba villages. Here the border of Barolo area crosses the winemakers property giving them incentive to act always at their best. Late September, early October, manual harvest.

After the stalk removal and pressing. After 2 days of maceration at cellar temperature we warm up at 30°C in steel tanks. The duration of maceration is 10-15 days and the malolactic is completed.

12 months in oak casks from Slavonia/Hungary/Switzerland.

Food Pairing: ham and salami, vitello tonnato, tajarin and ravioli, white meats.
