Rivetto winery visit
Very nice one! Perfumed aromas of hibiscus. Single vineyard of Barbaresco. Sourced grapes from long time partner. 2yrs in oak 70% Slavonian and 30% French barriques, followed by 6mo in bottle. €28 at the winery door is a bargain! — 8 years ago

Picked up a 6 pack of the Alessandro Rivetto Langhe Nebbiolo 2018 on Last Bottle Wines for $78. Not a bad deal. Elegant entry level Nebbiolo. Classic notes of tart red cherry, tar, rose, orange pekoe tea and wet earth. Medium plus acidity and ripe sweet tannins. Delicious weekday wine. — 6 years ago
So I was recently listening to the “wine for normal people” podcast and they mentioned how a lot of the Barolo and Barbaresco producers would put leftover grapes essentially into the newer DOCs. Well I open my little wine fridge and here is this Rosso from Langhe. I thought perfect timing! Not much on the nose but beautiful deep flavors. Low acid, starts with sweeter blue fruit and builds up to vanilla-oak-leather goodness. Firm cold ripe fruit that finishes quickly. Coats the mouth. Chewy, almost ripe fruit flavors. A great everyday Italian reflecting some delicious grapes. — 7 years ago
Mag. I’ll admit to never having tried or even heard of Nascetta before. It does taste very Piedmont, somewhat akin to a Roero Arneis maybe. Clean and refreshing, melon and a hint of tropical fruit, a little fresh grass, a saline or flinty quality. Seems like it could be pretty interesting with age — 8 years ago
Pale straw . Quite floral , citrus , chalky touches , blanched almonds , after a while some pastry and yeasty notes . Quite creamy on the palate , with some herbal , chalky notes , lemon rind and quite high acidity , ok yeasty finish. This is well balanced and quite fresh in style , drinking well now I would drink this over the next 3-5 years . — a year ago

An indigenous white from Langhe, I think this is my first time trying Nascetta. In the Nebbiolo dominated Piedmont, that’s not surprising. My Barolo meter is well tuned. My Nascetta palate.... not so.
I’m blown away here, though. This bottle is shockingly sharp with a creamy twist at the end that harmonizes the intense tropical fruits with a (non-sweet) honey glaze.
It’s that moment in the evening when you sit down on the couch after a long productive day. Self satisfied comfort wine. — 6 years ago
