Massimo Rivetti 'Avene' Nebbiolo

This 2022 Nebbiolo wine hails from Langhe, Italy. Massimo Rivetti's winery is nestled amidst 25 hectares of organically - cultivated vineyards, free from pesticides and fertilizers. The grapes are harvested from the area's steepest and highest 'hero's vineyard' in the first 10 days of October. After harvest, they're fermented in temperature - controlled steel tanks for 12 - 15 days. Then, the wine ages for a year in Slavonian oak barrels and rests in the bottle for 6 months. It offers notes of red fruit, tobacco, white pepper, and dried herbs with a long - lasting finish. Ideal for pairing with classic bolognese, charcuterie, or red sauce pizza.

To enjoy this wine, simply open the bottle and let it breathe for about 30 minutes before pouring. You can serve it at a slightly cool room temperature, around 60 - 64°F. This wine pairs great with classic bolognese, charcuterie, or red sauce pizza. When storing, keep the bottle in a cool, dark place, away from direct sunlight and strong vibrations. Once opened, consume it within 2 - 3 days to enjoy its full flavor.
