Rivetto

Zio Nando Barbera d'Alba DOC

This particular vineyard’s west exposure and sandy subsoil allow for a ripe, concentrated expression of Barbera. Deeply coloured, powerfully fruited nose with a deep, almost charcoal undertone. An opulent wine rich in black and red fruit with a lovely dried leaf back note. Peppery, sweet berry finish with a pretty surprising finish. Quite weighty on the palate but carried with a good level of acidity and moderate tannin allowing for an ample aging window as well. A cuvée that holds nothing back, sensual and bold. Named for Enrico’s uncle Nando who planted this plot in 1944 and loved its fruit, farming it no less tenderly than the estate’s Nebbiolo vines.
