BARBARESCO DOCG

Alessandro Rivetto produces two Barbarescos, both with grapes from the Montersino cru. For this classic Barbaresco DOCG, bunches from the west side are used, which receive sun until dusk. Here, the soil is slightly darker and gives body to the wine, which is ready to drink after the canonical aging of 18 months in wood and 12 in bottle. Because it has a soil richer in water and less steep than the south slope, it differs from the Barbaresco DOCG Montersino.

Tasting notes: ruby colour, with garnet hues. Intense aroma of ripe cherries and complex notes of minerals, tea leaves and rose petals. Pronounced and ripe tannins, fresh acidity and a rounded and feminine structure. This Barbaresco demonstrates incredible delicacy, excellent balance and a long, persistent finish.

Food pairing suggestions: roasted white meats, roasted veal, grilled vegetables, stews, game dishes, risotto and cheeses. The right wine for a tasting menu.
