Red
Avene
By Massimo Rivetti, Barbaresco, Piemonte, Italy
Grown on one of the highest, steepest plots in the area, a heroic vineyard worked mostly by hand. An elegant Nebbiolo with simpler tannins than a Barbaresco and good minerality.
Tasting notes
Elegant Nebbiolo with non-complex tannins and good minerality.
