Riva del Bric Barolo DOCG - Paolo Conterno

The Paolo Conterno Riva del Bric Barolo comes into the well-polished wine glass as a top-class red wine. It showcases a wonderfully dense, ruby red color. After the initial swirling, this red wine reveals a high viscosity, which is evident in the pronounced legs on the glass rim. In the glass, it beautifully expresses notes of plum, blackberry, blackcurrant, and blueberry, complemented by hints of blueberry.

This red wine from Paolo Conterno is just right for those who prefer 0.0 grams of sugar in their wine. The Riva del Bric Barolo comes close to that, having been vinified with just 0.3 grams of residual sugar. On the palate, this powerful red wine is characterized by an incredibly creamy texture. The moderate acidity caresses the palate with a velvety sensation, while still retaining its juicy liveliness. The finish of this red wine from the Piedmont region ultimately impresses with a beautiful aftertaste.

Vinification of the Paolo Conterno Riva del Bric Barolo

This wine clearly focuses on a single grape variety, namely Nebbiolo. For this exceptionally powerful varietal wine from Paolo Conterno, only flawless grapes were harvested. After hand-picking, the grapes are quickly transferred to the winery. Here, they are selected and gently crushed. Fermentation takes place in stainless steel tanks at controlled temperatures. This fermentation is followed by several months of aging on the fine lees before the wine is finally racked off.
