2008 vintage.
15 years old and still holding a deep ruby colour.
Very perfumed nose with black flowers, tar, licorice and vanillin.
Plum, porcini mushroom, dark cherry and sweet spice.
A silky texture and the tannins are still very astringent but caressing.
This wine spent 22 months in medium toast French oak.
I made mushroom and leek risotto with black truffles for dinner with this wine.
I was lucky to meet Giorgio Rivetti in 2004 at a Somm tasting that opened my eyes to La Spinetta wines….whether in Piedmont or Tuscany. — a year ago
Rivertti Massimo Viarivetti22 Rosato Langhe DOC 2020: Light. Bright. Balanced. Youthful flavors of strawberry, watermelon, cranberry & rhubarb. Short dry, yet refreshing finish. All in all, a beautifully-crafted, 100% Pinot Noir rosé from Piemonte and a perfect pairing for poolsides and summer days! Cheers🍷 — 3 years ago

Clear, light, almost white color, with small bubbles, Frizzante-style. Pronounced nose, floral and ripe white peaches, with notes of honeysuckle. Sweet, the palate follows the nose with the addition of orange citrus flavors with low acidity and nice medium length finish. — 8 months ago

Mouthwatering acidity, apple and mineral taste, distinctive feel. Interesting comparison to maconnais white - noticed its cooler terrior but otherwise similar. First wines of Wine Club with Steve Calum Lauro. — 2 years ago
