This Barolo casts a spell with its intoxicating aromas of rose petals, dark cherries, and a touch of leather. On the palate, it's a harmonious dance of power and finesse, where firm tannins gracefully mingle with flavors of red berries, licorice, and a whisper of spice. The wine's structure is a testament to its regal heritage, promising a cellar-worthy future for those patient enough to savor its evolution. A true tribute to Nebbiolo, Rivetto Serralunga is a magical encounter with the heart and soul of Italy's winemaking tradition."

Wine Advocate 93

"A certified organic and biodynamic wine, the Rivetto dal 1902 2019 Barolo del Comune di Serralunga d'Alba shows medium-rich concentration and an aromatic profile that embraces savory spice and tobacco. It ages in both Hungarian and Slavonian oak casks for two years. You get some of the more powerful or weighty elements of the Nebbiolo playbook with black cherry, iron ore and dried rose." -Monica Larner
