PAOLO CONTERNO Riva Del Bric Nebbiolo 2010 Barolo 1 BOTTLE AU$150-160 AUD $ 95

Robert Parker Score: 93 points

Reviewer: Monica Larner — 21326 Jun 2014

Drink 2017–2028

The 2010 Barolo Riva del Bric shows a high degree of floral intensity with pressed violets and rose followed by bright red fruit and distant spice. The maceration period is relatively brief (15 days) and this has helped to fix the wine’s intensity, both in terms of its appearance and its bouquet. Vinification includes three years in botte grande. Mineral nuances and fresh acidity characterize the finish. Drink: 2017-2028.

Giorgio Conterno knows how to set a relaxing tone. A visit to his tasting room offers a meaningful sensorial experience with classical music, stunning hillside views and beautiful wines (most especially in 2010).
