Description: In the beginning of the 1960s, Giuseppe Rivetti, nicknamed ‘Pin’, and his wife, Lidia, were both expert and dedicated farmers with enormous appreciation and knowledge for tradition while keeping a curious interest in the future. Their first Barbaresco, Gallina was created in 1995, followed by Starderi in 1996 and finally Valeirano in 1997. The three Barbarescos are each made exactly the same in the cellar. The wines highlight the unique differences in each individual vineyard. Located on the slopes of Neive, a renowned area for making excellent Barbaresco. Aged in new, medium toasted French oak for 20-22 months, then transferred to stainless steel vats for 3 months before bottling. Finally, the Barbaresco rests in the bottle for another 12 months.
Decanting is suggested.
