I’ve been waiting a week for the “experts” at @Delectable Wine to identify this correctly. I finally said “fuck it” and posted it with the wrong ID just so I wouldn’t forget about it. It’s the 2019 Terre di Carlin Barbaresco. (Not Massimo Rivetti).

A fruity, open, and straightforward bargain-priced weeknight Barbaresco. Nose shows spiced cherry, fresh and dried. A bit of leather and minerally earth. On the palate, it’s got nicely-concentrated fruit and decent acids. The tannins are soft and in the background. This is for short-term drinking while waiting for its more structured peers to come around. Great value. — a month ago

2008 vintage.
15 years old and still holding a deep ruby colour.
Very perfumed nose with black flowers, tar, licorice and vanillin.
Plum, porcini mushroom, dark cherry and sweet spice.
A silky texture and the tannins are still very astringent but caressing.
This wine spent 22 months in medium toast French oak.
I made mushroom and leek risotto with black truffles for dinner with this wine.
I was lucky to meet Giorgio Rivetti in 2004 at a Somm tasting that opened my eyes to La Spinetta wines….whether in Piedmont or Tuscany. — a year ago

Rivertti Massimo Viarivetti22 Rosato Langhe DOC 2020: Light. Bright. Balanced. Youthful flavors of strawberry, watermelon, cranberry & rhubarb. Short dry, yet refreshing finish. All in all, a beautifully-crafted, 100% Pinot Noir rosé from Piemonte and a perfect pairing for poolsides and summer days! Cheers🍷 — 3 years ago

Clear, light, almost white color, with small bubbles, Frizzante-style. Pronounced nose, floral and ripe white peaches, with notes of honeysuckle. Sweet, the palate follows the nose with the addition of orange citrus flavors with low acidity and nice medium length finish. — 6 months ago

I’m told part of this juice will soon become Barolo del Comune di Serralunga. Lovely wine. — a year ago

5本で1万円の赤ワインセットその四、バローロの2016年ものです。通常価格は税別で6980円もするとのこと。普段ならなかなか手が出ません。
色合いは濃いめのガーネット、アタックは柔らかいのですが、アフターはかなりパワフル。柑橘やスパイスが交錯した複雑感も素晴らしい。文句なくすばらしい。 — 3 years ago

2020 vintage.
Timorasso is an indigenous grape from Piedmont.
7.5 hectare vineyard of 25 year old vines grown in marly, calareous, clay and sandy soil.
Stainless steel ferment followed by 8 months resting on the lees then 3 months of bottle ageing before release.
Giorgio Rivetti, owner of La Spinetta, considers Timorasso as the white Nebbiolo.
Will easily age 5-10 years.
Bright, brilliant straw gold.
Stone fruit, ripe nectarines, Acacia honey and white flowers.
Layers of flavours with tropical fruit, almonds and bergamot.
This wine dances a fine line between smooth texture, citrus, minerals and flowers. — 7 months ago
