Azienda Agricola Alessandro Rivetto

From the breathtaking views of La Morra to the rolling hills of Sinio, from the prestigious vineyards of the Barbaresco area in the municipality of Alba, to the ancient soils of Serralunga d'Alba, the estate of the prestigious Alessandro Rivetto preserves and reveals some of the most authentic and emblematic expressions of Langhe. It is a unique heritage expressed in the wines it produces — authentic interpreters of the land, capable of telling its story with new nuances with each harvest. Production stems from careful listening to nature and a deep understanding of the vineyards; it seeks to highlight the unique character of each slope, transforming it into wines with a distinct and recognisable identity.

The passion for wine and extensive experience in the sector — developed over a lifetime of learning and observation — are essential attributes of Azienda Agricola Alessandro Rivetto. Alessandro's grandfather — Ercole — introduced him to the vineyards and the cellar, just as his great-grandfather Giovanni had done before him. Ercole had deep ties to his homeland. He knew how to transform his father's intuition and use it as a starting point to explore new production possibilities.

In Alessandro's own words, «he gave me the pleasure of working with a smile on my face. I learned that from him: to love what I do and do what I love, bringing a smile to the people I meet and those who taste my wine.»
