A beautiful Barbaresco from this most exciting of Domaine's in Nieve, now headed up by brother and sister duo Beatrice and Marco Rivetti. We are very happy to be now adding them to our Piedmont portfolio.
The 'Classico' label at Cascina Vano makes a very welcome return in the incredible 2021 vintage after being rested since the 1990 version. I mean, this is immense for the price considering Piemonte prices these days - where most new growers Langhe Nebbiolo are hitting the shelves around the £40 mark.
Here we have three established (all vines 30yrs plus) estate vineyards, a south-east facing site in Canova MGA and a small south-east facing parcel near the top of the crest of Rivetti MGA and a slightly larger south-west facing parcel the other side of the hill finishing just above Borgata Rivetti. So, an interesting blend of very good vineyards in an as mentioned incredible vintage that is poised, direct, elegant and shining bright at well under forty quid - aren't we lucky?
The vineyard sites average an elevation of 380m. In 2021 the grapes were harvested by hand in very late September into the first week of October. After destemming and a soft crushing, a natural fermentation occurs in stainless steel tanks at controlled temperatures. The wine is macerated on skins for 15 days. It is then run to 20 and 30hl Slavonian oak barrels for 24 months, with one decanting and racking per year. The wine is then put to bottle for at least six months. We've shipped these bottles a further two years down the line and the wine is in beautiful shape. A beautiful garnet colour with hints of burgundy and ruby. The nose is delicate and floral with lovely rose notes along with some mint and balsamic. The palate is classic and elegant with gorgeous pure fruit, beautiful acid, divine tannins and some spice and herbal notes on the charming long finish.
Simply a great example to convince those of the beauty and value of Barbaresco wines.
