The 2019 Rivetto Barolo del Comune di Serralunga d'Alba is a wine that embodies the heart of Piedmont—elegant, bold, and deeply connected to its land. Crafted by Enrico Rivetto, a winemaker who has turned biodynamic farming into an art form, this Barolo stands as a testament to his dedication and vision. Robert Parker has praised Rivetto’s work, calling it “a shining example of how biodynamic farming can elevate the expression of Barolo.” It’s a rare glimpse into what happens when tradition meets modern, sustainable practices.

Rivetto’s journey started as a farmer, and his deep connection to the land runs through every bottle he creates. He has strategically developed his estate atop the Lirano hill near Serralunga, carefully selecting vineyards to craft wines that showcase both the power and elegance that Barolo is known for. With all of Rivetto’s 23 hectares of land on the same hilltop, he can respond to nature’s needs with unparalleled precision—creating wines that reflect the harmony of the terroir. His commitment to biodynamic farming, certified by Demeter, ensures that each bottle is not just a wine but a piece of the earth itself.

This Barolo is the result of years of thoughtful cultivation and passion. It’s made from 100% Nebbiolo, the grape that defines the region, and it’s packed with classic flavors of dark cherries, tobacco, and leather, balanced by a fresh, modern touch. It’s a Barolo that offers complexity and richness with the smoothness of a wine made by someone who understands both tradition and innovation.

With just 5,000 cases produced, this is a rare wine that offers incredible value for its quality.

2019 was an extraordinary vintage in Barolo. Wine Advocate blessed this year with a 96-point review, and Vinous Media said, "The 2019s are potent, tightly wound Barolos that will thrill readers who appreciate the nuance, subtlety, and structure of Nebbiolo. Today, the 2019s show elements of youthful austerity that at times recall vintages such as 2016, 2005, and 1999."

In the heart of Serralunga d'Alba, this wine embodies the essence of Barolo from Serralunga. The wine exudes aromas of rose, tar and dried red fruit.

A certified organic and biodynamic wine, the Rivetto dal 1902 2019 Barolo del Comune di Serralunga d'Alba shows medium-rich concentration and an aromatic profile that embraces savory spice and tobacco. It ages in both Hungarian and Slavonian oak casks for two years. You get some of the more powerful or weighty elements of the Nebbiolo playbook with black cherry, iron ore and dried rose. ~93 Robert Parker's Wine Advocate

Pretty nose of strawberries, hazelnuts, vanilla and neroli. It’s creamy and full-bodied, with fine, polished tannins. Lovely balance. A little tight at the end. Try in 2026. ~ 92 James Suckling
