2016 Rivetto, Barbera d’Alba, Zio Nando (RT92+) Crafted from destemmed Barbera grapes, 30% of which were planted in 1944 and grown in the west-facing Zio Nando plot of this Serralunga vineyard. With its dense, nearly opaque ruby-purple hue, notes of cranberry, menthol, balsam and hints of spice and new leather emerge. A luxurious mouthfeel with a tangy punctuation mark and round tannins leads to a zesty finish. Quite lovely, despite it improving a touch with cellaring it begs to be drunk now! Drink now-2030+
