Massimo Rivetti Langhe Nebbiolo Avene 2020
Massimo Rivetti Family Farm with its 25 hectares, cultivated under the organic certification, grows both traditional and international grapes. The annual production is around 100.000 bottles, mainly divided between Barbaresco and Barbera d’Alba. All the fields are grouped around three farm houses: Froi, Garassino and Palazzina. Inside the first one, situated into the village of Neive, there is the winery which is built on Serraboella hill, one of the most important for the production of Barbaresco.
Tasting notes
Bright ruby red with brightening edges. The nose reveals an aroma of red berry fruit and floral tones of violets and fine herbal tones.
Production notes
Made with 100% Nebbiolo grapes from one of the highest fields in the area at more than 500 meters above sea level. A Heroic vineyard such as this one with a slope over 30%, requires a greater degree of hand labour, since the use of machinery is not always possible. Aged for one year in Slavonian oak (2500-litre casks). Elegant Nebbiolo with non-complex tannins and good minerality.
