Quite smokey , not a lot of fruit , slightly balsamic with dried herbal touches , redcurrant , a bit awkward at the moment . Quite strict on the palate , touch of black tea , red slightly dusty fruit . Quite raspy tannins , ok quite fresh acidity , touch of liquorice on the finish. Not the most involving wine , quite aloof. Just worry that this misses a bit of stuffing , a bit more fruit . Ok length. I get the impression this needs a bit more time , maybe another 3-5 years and will last another 5 , however not sure this will ever overcome its deficiencies.

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!
