Tasting Notes

Nestled in the heart of Piedmont, Massimo Rivetti has been established in the region since 1947. Specializing in Nebbiolo, this well-respected winemaker has been garnering industry recognition and a steady stream of fans since its inception.

The age of the vineyards ranges from 35 to 75 years old with limited yield per hectare to maximize the grape quality, the terroir and production area. Organically grown, the vineyards are maintained with utmost care, and zero use of chemical herbicides or pesticides.

Massimo Rivetti is new to Artisanal Wine Imports and we believe that we found a hidden gem. To encourage as many people as possible to try the wines and have the opportunity to experience "Nebbiolo Nirvana", we have decided to put together a mixed pack of 3 of their high scoring wines.

If you're a fan of Nebbiolo, then I would encourage you to take this opportunity to try this curated case as I'm sure that you'll be as enamoured with their wines as we are.

We have selected three Piedmontese gems to introduce you to the genius that is Massimo Rivetti. The 6-pack contains 2 bottles of each of the following:

2018 Massimo Rivetti, Langhe Nebbiolo DOC Avene

Made with 100% Nebbiolo grapes from one of the highest fields in the area at more than 500 meters above sea level. A Heroic vineyard such as this one with a slope over 30% requires a greater degree of hand labour, since the use of machinery is not always possible. Aged for one year in Slavonian oak (2500-litre casks). Elegant Nebbiolo with non-complex tannins and good minerality.

2016 Massimo Rivetti, Barbaresco DOCG Froi

It takes the name of the farmhouse, being that it is a selection of grapes taken from the vineyards around the property. All the beauty and strength of the Piedmontese philosophy shows in this traditional wine. It is aged in large barrels of Slavonian oak (2500-litre casks) where it rests for two years. Elegant and fruity wine.

2016 Massimo Rivetti Barolo DOCG

All the beauty and strength of the Piedmontese philosophy shows in this traditional wine. It is aged in large barrels of Slavonian oak where it rests for twenty-four months, developing significant tannins and a full body.
