Rivarossa stands for the name of the cadastral parcel that resides on the property, this ruby coloured red was first produced in 1968. Every single grape that goes into the Rivarossa is manually harvested and destemmed and fermented separately. The soil of Rivarossa is predominately clay and each vintage produced has a unique fermentation and refinement period unique to the phenolic conditions of the grapes in each vintage. Notes of blackberry, liquorice, tobacco and black pepper compliment the velvety mouthfeel. Malolactic fermentation is the culprit for the incredible mouthfeel then ageing in oak barrels for 14 months that gives its nice toasty warmth on the finish.

Soft & Elegant

This white is new to the legendary collection of Mario Schiopetto whites being that this is its first vintage, 2020! Although this Sauv Blanc is soft and elegant, do not be fooled - there is a ton of structure here. Notes of fresh flowers with hints of exotic nuances. The long finish and plush acidity is the stand out with this particular wine. The terroir comes through the wine with green notes on the nose, gravel on the palate and green hues blending with its straw yellow colour.
