DU RIVA OVADA D.O.C.G.

At the sight it appears deep ruby with a remarkable colour mass and bright purple reflexes.

Intense and sophisticated on the nose, it smells red ripe fruits like currant, blackberries, and cherries. A well outlined note of violet, spices in succession, primarily vanilla, black pepper, and coffee. In the mouth it expresses itself with remarkable correspondence offering an awesome, full and long sip that, despite its great complexity, leaves a pleasantly clean mouth with important, but not too much noticeable, tannins. A note of very pleasant liquorice closes this beautiful taste.

Du Riva is” born” using an old and special clone of dolcetto which grows up only in Ovada area; its name is Nibiӧ.

The old vintners used it to make very long refinements.

Very deep crimson. Heady, dusty nose with a certain sweetness and density. Very dry, rather sudden finish. Certainly distinctive!
