New additions to Rivetto wines

05 January 2010

We are just about to celebrate our first anniversary with Rivetto wines and we thought we would add some more of their fantastic selection to our portfolio.

 

The Rivetto family make a distinctive Nascetta white wine made from grapes that were mentioned in the wine growing chronicles of the second half of the nineteenth century and produce a typical white wine with Mediterranean origins, whose palate reminds us of the great vintages of warmer climates.

 

Decanter Magazine recently called the grape varietals Dolcetto and Barbera 'the odd couple.'  However, there is nothing odd about Dolcetto d'Alba 'Ercolino.'  This delicate, medium bodied wine is a superb accompaniment to food.
