Barbaresco Riserva 1995 DOCG Dante Rivetti

Dante Rivetti, an agricultural company founded in the 1970s, now boasts 50 hectares of vineyard land. The production philosophy emphasizes respect and care for the environment. No chemical substances are used in the vineyards, where even the cultivation materials are biodegradable. The winery is powered by a photovoltaic system, and the facilities are partially underground or insulated, maintaining a constant temperature throughout the year without the need for air conditioning. A highlight of the entire process is the method of Vermiculture, which allows for the transformation of organic waste into humus. The Barbaresco Bricco de Neueis (Bricco di Neive) by Dante Rivetti is produced exclusively in the best vintages. Old vines are planted on clay and limestone soils, with the first 24 months of aging done in large Slavonian oak barrels and a small portion in small French oak barrels, followed by an additional 12 months in large barrels for a total of three years. The subsequent 18 months in the bottle earns this label the mention of ‘reserve.’ This is the recipe for the Barbaresco Bricco di Neive Riserva according to the Rivetti family.
