From young winemaker Enrico Rivetto, an excellent 'drink now' style of organic, biodynamic Barbera from the Langa del Barolo region in Piemonte, nothern Italy.

In many ways this is textbook Barbera: rich, powerful dark fruit, macerated strawberry, a hint of cocoa and smoky leather, with present but well-integrated tannic structure. There's plenty of intensity along with lively acidity which freshens the experience considerably. The wine is excellent now but would reveal more complexity with age.

Rivetto is the first Demeter-certified Biodynamic producer in the Barolo region, and we think one to watch in the coming years.
