The vineyards are tended to down to the smallest detail, and kept constantly under control by Dante. With his country – some may say brusque – ways, no imperfection is allowed to pass unnoticed in the work which is all performed strictly by hand. In fact Dante spends most of his time in the vineyards he is so proud of, making them as neat and tidy as a well-kept garden. Winter and green pruning are the steps he keeps closest tabs on, while trading opinions and enjoying a chat with the friends and experts he takes with him to give a helping hand.

description
100% Barbera. Dedicated to the youngest daughter in the Rivetti household, this Barbera presents the variety’s youthful spontaneous, easy-drinking properties in a very special way. The decision to only use steel gives it a flavoursome taste hinting at red currants and railway cherries. Smooth, but very noticeable tannins. Very good finish.
PAIR WITH GRILLED PORK AND CHICKEN, OR NICE LIGHTLY CHILLED WITH A CHEESE COURSE OR A FAVORITE BOOK.
