Serving and Tasting
Recommended Glass: A large red wine glass (Burgundy-style or a wide-bowled balloon glass), essential for allowing Nebbiolo to express its complex aromatic profile to the fullest and breathe properly.
Serving Temperature: 16–18 °C. We recommend opening the bottle at least an hour before serving, or gently decanting it if drinking immediately.
Tasting Notes
Appearance: Bright garnet red with subtle, elegant orange highlights at the rim of the glass, typical of Nebbiolo as it ages.
Nose: Intense, refined floral notes of dried rose and violet, accompanied by small red fruits (raspberry, currant and cherry). The bouquet is rounded out with layers of sweet spices, leather, pipe tobacco, and subtle balsamic and woodland notes.
Palate: Noble, austere, and beautifully structured. The tannins are dense, fine, and well-polished, perfectly balanced by pronounced acidity and a savory minerality that carries through to a long, warm, remarkably persistent finish.
Food Pairings
A prestigious, full-bodied red wine, perfect with rich, elaborate dishes from traditional Piedmontese and international cuisine:
High-quality red meats, roast veal, and Florentine steak.
Wine-braised and slow-cooked meats (e.g. Barbaresco-braised beef).
Fur and feathered game (roe deer, hare, pheasant).
Flavorful first courses with Alba white truffle or game ragù.
Aged and mountain cheeses (Castelmagno, Parmigiano Reggiano aged over 36 months, Toma Piemontese).
The Winery and Producer
Azienda Agricola Dante Rivetti is a historic, family-run winery rooted in Neive, one of the Barbaresco appellation's most iconic and highly regarded communes. Founded in the mid-20th century, the winery tends vineyards of rare beauty and exposure, managed with the utmost respect for the environment and local traditions.
"Bric Micca" is one of the estate's most celebrated crus: a vineyard on a hill with exceptional viticultural potential, benefiting from excellent exposure and calcareous marl soils ideal for Nebbiolo. Dante Rivetti's winemaking philosophy combines meticulous hand-selection of the grapes with expert aging in wooden casks, producing a Barbaresco that can develop and mature beautifully in bottle for many years.
