Rizzi 2016 Barbaresco "Rizzi" 750ml
The 2016 Barbaresco Rizzi is the most balanced wine in this series. The other wines feel a bit too ripe in my opinion, even in this 2016 vintage. This wine offers a soft and delicate side that is...
Produttori del Barbaresco 2015 Barbaresco Riserva Paje 750ml
Beams of minerality and salinity cut through a core of dense, dark fruit in the 2014 Barbaresco Riserva Pajè. Deeply pitched and tannic, the 2014 is a super-classic, youthfully austere...
Negretti 2014 Barolo "Rive" 750ml
The 2014 Barolo Rive is a bit more floral and lifted than the other wines in the range, both of which match its relatively understated personality well. -- Antonio Galloni, Vinous, Aug...
Domaine Eden 2016 Cabernet Sauvignon 750ml
This vintage, the blend is 75% Cabernet Sauvignon, 15% Merlot, 5% Cabernet Franc, 4% Petite Verdot and 1% Malbec. Medium to deep ruby, the 2016 Cabernet Sauvignon has a very minerally nose of crushed...
Chateau de Beaucastel 2017 Chateauneuf du Pape Rouge 750ml
The 2017 Châteauneuf Du Pape is another sunny, beautifully Provençal effort that has a huge nose of garrigue, raw steak, leather, truffle, and peppery spice. Medium to full-bodied,...
Rizzi 2014 Alta Langa Pas Dose Metodo Classico 750ml
Made with Chardonnay and Pinot Nero, this crisp, elegant sparkler hits all the right buttons. It opens with scents of field flower, citrus, wild herb and yellow stone fruit. Reflecting the nose, the...
Claudio Boggione 2015 Barolo "Brunate" 750ml
After a decent interval to let the wine breathe, the 2015 shows its great potential – fragrant with flowers and earth; plenty of bright juicy fruit, but overall savory in character, with...
Description
The 2016 Barbaresco Nervo is a thickly or loosely textured expression that offers more power and richness than your standard Nebbiolo from this appellation. This wine is robust and nicely concentrated and pushes forward over the palate with great determination. After a few years in the bottle, you might serve this with Piedmont's classic finanziera, a hearty peasant's stew of sweetbreads and other innards.

Founded over 40 years ago by Ernesto Dellapiana, the Azienda Vitivinicola Rizzi is located in the small village of Treiso in the heart of the Barbaresco and Langhe area. The original vineyards of this estate were anchored on two sides of the hill of Rizzi with the Cru Rizzi and the Cru Nervo. Between 1984 and 2018 further vineyard acquisitions were made in more Cru’s including the famous Pajorè. Ernesto and his wife Lia now work alongside their daughter, Jole, who handles the sales and marketing for the winery and their son, Enrico, who manages the viticulture and wine production. Even after more than 40 years of activity, the philosophy of the Rizzi winery remains focused on classicism and tradition, with great attention to respect for the environment and the ecosystem, through the use of pellet manure, compost and green manure for fertilizers, and copper and sulfur to combat fungi and pests. Furthermore, only mechanical techniques are used to keep the sub-plates clean. The ultimate goal is always the same, generation after generation: to exalt in wine that the season and the territory have been able to express in the fruit. The Rizzi winery is one of the most solid and reliable production facilities in Barbaresco, the result of various Cru interpreted as a symbol of Piedmontese classical tradition. Rizzi, Nervo, Pajorè, Vigne Boito: vineyards that have a perfect exposure, so as to give life to classic and deep wines.
