The 2009 Barolo Vigneto Campe is located a mere 20 meters above Vigneto Garetti but you can already feel the difference in terms of the wine’s extra softness and power. This wine presents rounder and riper aromas of dried raspberry and blackberry. Fruit was harvested ten days before Vigneto Garetti. There is a noticeable difference in the quality of the tannins. Here they are silkier and sweeter. Anticipated maturity: 2015-2025.
Giorgio Rivetti has unveiled a stunning line of new wines, and a few surprises as well, from his impeccable winery and tasting room at the foot of the Grinzane Cavour castle. The line of Riserva Barbarescos and Riserva Barolo will only be bottled in magnums in the best vintages. The year 2004 is the inaugural vintage of these special releases. Giorgio purchased a beautiful estate in the Grinzane Cavour estate for making Barolo. His vineyard graces a dome-shaped hill and is planted with 55- to 60-year-old Nebbiolo vines.
