Rivella Serafino Montestefano Barbaresco Nebbiolo 2017

Teobaldo Rivella has been quietly farming the vines that his father planted in Montestefano since 1974. This vineyard sits just across from Montefico andamp; Ovello and is defined by a dense layer of limestone that sits just underneath the topsoil. Rivella's rendition is a pristine example of the site's potential andndash; stunning, expressive aromatics, finely etched structure, and world class poise andamp; length. He treats his 2.5 ha vineyard in Montestefanoandnbsp;'come il mio giardino,'andnbsp;like his own garden, tending it organically with the help of his wife, Maria. Working by hand on such a small scale allows him to lavish attention on his vines, and decades of practice have honed his ability to expertly capture such a clear and inspiring picture of this lauded site. This is big botti elevage Nebbiolo that delivers the goods in every sense of that phrase.andnbsp;
