Rivetto

Nascetta is a historical semi-aromatic white grape with excellent cellaring potential. It is said to be the only white grape native to the Langhe. When Enrico started working with this near-extinct grape in 2007, only 7 other producers were using it. The ranks have now grown past 50. Enrico ferments most of the fruit in concrete (without MLF), giving it a 72 hour soak on its skins. Meanwhile, a portion of the fruit was sealed in his Italian made terracotta amphora to ferment and age a few months, in contact with its skins the entire time. The result is an unctuously textural experience of bergamot, lily, grapefruit white peach, and bright herbs. Minerality with a lean waxy structure make it medium bodied without over complicating the palate. A reward for explorers!
