Rivetto

Barbaresco DOCG Nervo

The elegance of Barbaresco with the brawn of a Barolo. This Barbaresco has all the tell-tale roses and dancing nuance in the mid-palate we expect, but in Enrico's hands the fruit has been treated to Barolo's inclination for power and structure. This wine will handsomely reward the patient cellar keeper. That concentration of flavour is, more than anything else, owing to beautiful biodynamic farming and tightly managed yields. The Nervo plot is between 220 and 360m above sea level on a South-Southwest facing sandy marl slope. The grapes have their seeds removed before macerating 20 days with a native yeast spontaneous ferment, aged thereafter for two years in oak and six months in bottle. Blood orange, cherry, wild strawberry, tellicherry, prosciutto, a wine of pomp and circumstance! Such a wonderful treat while the Barolo's keep sleeping.
