Borgogno Rivata Barolo 2021 DOC 0.75l

Borgogno Rivata Barolo 2021 DOC 0.75l is a wine that presents itself as a window into the heart of the Langhe, where the light flickers between the vineyards and the stone cellars speak of a tradition rooted in the territory. Behind this label lies a historic winery with a long history of ties to Barolo, a corporate identity shaped by a commitment to preserving traditional processes without sacrificing a contemporary interpretation of the raw materials. The production philosophy is based on attention to the vineyard as the primary instrument of expression: limited yields, manual harvesting, carefully selected grapes, controlled fermentations, and a long aging in wood that aims to integrate tannins and aromas without exaggerating them. Rivata's distinctive features lie in the selection of vineyards located in the Rivata area of ​​Barolo or in any case belonging to a mosaic of calcareous and sandy soils that favor slow ripening and a complex aromatic composition, unlike similar solutions. The character of this Barolo is evident at first whiff: notes of ripe black cherry, candied lemon peel, hints of licorice, and black pepper mingle with dry floral aromas. On the palate, an elegant balance emerges between body and fertile freshness, with smooth tannins and a rich acidity that supports a long finish of leather and dried fruit. The structure suggests aging potential, but it's also immediately enjoyable in its own right, thanks to a certain finesse that pairs well with aged cheeses, slow-cooked red meats, or truffle risotto, offering a varied gastronomic context. Within the Borgogno range, Rivata occupies a central role: it demonstrates the company's ability to blend tradition with a focus on evolving taste, without overbearing excess, positioning itself as an ambassador for a philosophy that sees wine as the product of silent and continuous labor. Ultimately, Borgogno Rivata Barolo 2021 is a testament to the territory, a proposal that invites you to refine your perception of Barolo through a coherent and measured interpretation, in line with the STELT positioning.
