About the Wine: The "Bricco" Riserva is Dante Rivetti's top-tier offering, produced only in superior vintages. Sourced from old vines in the Bricco di Neive MGA, this wine typically undergoes extended aging in large Slavonian oak barrels. After 25+ years, this 1999 Riserva is expected to show the tertiary complexities of mature Nebbiolo: notes of dried rose petals, tar, truffle, leather, and spiced cherries, supported by a softened but still present tannic backbone.
