Massimo Rivetti Barbaresco 2019

The wild herb and mineral notes really come through on the palate, and the tannins have softened beautifully—it drinks so smoothly already. Perfect balance for a Nebbiolo.

The wild herb and mineral notes really come through on the finish, and the tannins have softened to a point where it feels silky rather than grippy. Opened it with a roast chicken on a Tuesday and it carried the whole meal beautifully.

That initial burst of cherry and wild herbs hit just right, and the tannins have mellowed beautifully. A long, mineral-driven finish that made the whole bottle disappear too fast.
