Producer: Riva Leone represents the dedication of smaller Piedmontese producers committed to crafting authentic expressions of Barolo's noble Nebbiolo grape. The 2018 vintage showcases the estate's expertise in working with this challenging but rewarding variety, which requires exceptional skill and patience to reveal its full potential in the bottle.
Located within the prestigious Barolo DOCG zone, the estate benefits from the region's distinctive calcareous clay soils and ideal south-facing expositions that create the perfect conditions for Nebbiolo cultivation.
This vintage demonstrates traditional Barolo winemaking methods, with extended maceration and ageing in large Slavonian oak casks that allow the wine's natural complexity to develop slowly over time.
Riva Leone offers an excellent introduction to authentic Barolo character, delivering the concentration and structure that defines this legendary wine region whilst showcasing the distinctive terroir that has made Barolo one of Italy's most revered and age-worthy expressions of Nebbiolo.
