Negretti Barolo D.O.C.G Rive 2012 to 2015
Negretti Barolo D.O.C.G Rive 2012 to 2015
Alcohol: 14.5%
What is it like? A Barolo will always have a steely character. In the hands of Negretti it carries an elegance. Rive is a Cru (parcel) in La Morra and has a sandy medium calcareous soil. The soil composition also gives more freshness, floral and fruity notes, making this Barolo Rive the easiest to appreciate.
How to serve? To allow our taste buds to better appreciate a Barolo, drink it with food (except seafood!). Vintage 2012 is slightly young to most people, but if you like freshness in Barolo, give it a try. This will go well with grilled steak and Iberico pork chop, or lamb rack. Open at least 2-3 hours ahead and serve at 16 degrees C.
