Rivetto family started wine activity in 1902 in a small village located in Asti region called Montaldo Scarampi. In the 1921 they deicided to move to Albas downtown in Rattazzi street n.2 where they began a successfull wine-trade.
Nearly forty years later, in 1939, Ercole, the familys patriarch, sealed the winerys fate when he purchased the estate of Loirano of Vassallo counts. The estate sits 400 mt above sae level, occupying 89 acres facing the spectacular Serralunga dAlba Castle and the charmingly picturesque village of Sinio. The vineyards extended from the southwestward along the highest hilltop.
The land has been prized for many generations. As a token of esteem and hospitality, the Falletti family, owners of the Langhe property, best owed upon their cousins, the Vassallo Counts, this rich land located in Loirano, a region synonymous with age-old quality.
This barolo is pleasant with soft tanin and gently spiced with intense cranberry fruit still round and good. It is very drinkable and we do recommend this vintage.
