Rivetto, Barbaresco Marcarini, Nebbiolo, Piedmont, Italy 2018

Description

Ruby red with orang reflexes. Clean and clear aromas with floral notes. Good structure and finesse, kicking tannins typical from the Marcarini area.

James Suckling 93

"Sweet strawberry, cherry and floral aromas with lots of oranges and hints of peaches, too. Medium to full body with firm, polished tannins and lots of freshness for 2017. Racy at the end. Very pretty already. Drinkable now, but better in three or four years."
