2017 Rivetto, Barolo DOCG, Del Comune di Serralunga (RT94) A biodynamic Barolo from free-spirited winemaker Enrico Rivetto, here the wines are interconnected with the earth in a committing manner. This Demeter certified wine is as pure as the driven snow, crafted in a traditional manner and aged in a combination of Slavonian, Hungarian and Swiss oak casks. Shows an inviting, transparent ruby garnet hue, as notes of the mentholated red cherry-based build to reveal accents of spiced plum, sappy cedar, green olives and porcini dust. The mid-weight palate is elegant and balanced with ripe fruit, moderate acidity and supple tannins. A wonderful, food friendly wine that balances style with satisfying early drinking pleasure. This will age well for years to come and is of a style I find enormously attractive. Drink 2024-2037+
