Rivetto Barolo Briccolina | 2019 | 750ml

About This Wine

Briccolina is a cru in Serralunga d'Alba at about 350 metres, bordering Vigna Rionda and Ornato. Rivetto's half-hectare plot was the first part of the estate converted to biodynamics, in 2015.

The Rivetto family has made wine since 1902 and has farmed the Lirano hill, between Serralunga d'Alba and Sinio, since 1938. Enrico Rivetto, the fourth generation, made it the first estate in Barolo and Barbaresco with Demeter biodynamic certification.

Serving

Serve at 60 to 65°F, and decant young bottles for an hour or two. Pairs with grilled beef or venison.

About Nebbiolo

Nebbiolo is a powerful yet pale red with cherry, rose, tar and dried herbs, searing acidity and formidable tannins built for aging. Its cool Piedmont home sharpens its tannic, aromatic profile.
