Riva Del Bric

2011 Barolo Nebbiolo

The Paolo Conterno Riva Del Bric is a striking Nebbiolo hailing from the prestigious Barolo region, showcasing the elegance and complexity that this grape variety is renowned for. This deep red wine exhibits a captivating bouquet of dark cherries, violets, and earthy notes, complemented by hints of spices and tar that are characteristic of its terroir. On the palate, it is full-bodied with high acidity that provides a refreshing lift, balanced by fine, structured tannins that contribute to its longevity. The fruit intensity is pronounced, making every sip a delightful experience, while the wine's dry profile lends itself beautifully to food pairings, particularly rich meats and aged cheeses. The 2011 vintage embodies the spirit of Barolo, offering both depth and finesse that wine enthusiasts will truly appreciate.

Italy

While France takes the crown for the most famous wines styles and grape varieties, Italy is where wine was first perfected. The ancient Greeks called it Oenotria—"land of the vines"—and the Roman Empire advanced grape growing and winemaking to a level of quality we still enjoy today. But behind Italy's best-known wines, such as Chianti, Barolo and prosecco, there's an almost endless diversity of delights awaiting the intrepid explorer. The key to understanding Italian wine is regionality and (of course) food. From the aromatic and sparkling whites of the north to Sicily's rich and spicy reds, Italy offers wine lovers a lifetime of gastronomic treats.
