Rivetto Langhe Nebbiolo, Piedmont, Italy 2023

Description

The Rivetto 2023 Langhe Nebbiolo has a brilliant ruby red color that softens as it ages. Its aroma is delicate, fruity, and reminiscent of raspberries and violets. The palate is dry and softens as it ages to become velvety with a long-lasting persistence. Pairings: it pairs very well with red meat, game, and roasts. Excellent with grilled meat.

Made with Nebbiolo that grows a few steps from the border of Barolo, this is an approachable Nebbiolo with great structure and finesse. An extremely pleasing and drinkable wine, and although it has a high alcohol grade this never overpowers its fruity character. Its red color has Bordeaux reflections and the slow trickle from the edge of the glass confirms its optimal concentration and good body. The palate is caressed by a smooth tannin content typical of the Nebbiolo grape and by a warm and enveloping flavor.
