Green Polkadot Wedding Table

Piedmont Provence Lange, step by step. Part I



finally, finally I reached his hands to Learn!
If and Italian friends could read in Russian, it would have learned about myself a lot. Just kidding. Would know how much I love them, how much they mean to me and how I'm grateful to them. The really happy that in my life came so many wonderful people. End of digression, the start of this lyric about what I worked in the past few days.


After a walk with my new friends in Moscow Turin, events spilled over into the countryside, the farm holiday Rivett, located in the hills Sinio in one of the most beautiful places Lange, opposite the castle Serralunga d'Alba. In May - June roses bloom throughout most incredible sizes and colors, even bright green, not baked by the sun, wherever you turn your head, you can see beautiful fields, similar to floral carpets because of the flowering them a bright red poppies. During this period, are born tender shoots of the vine, the frogs sing spring songs from morning till night, the birds chirping as ever, the air filled with the aromas of spring.

Rivett family owns 35 hectares of land, most of the grapes are busy, and the rest - Walnut trees. Nuts Lange can be seen everywhere, they grow in the bottom of the vine hills. The territory is famous for the quality of its nuts, the majority some of which bought the factory, "Ferrero, based in Alba.
family history my friend Enrico began in the late nineteenth century, with a small grocery store in the small town of Montaldo Skarampi near Asti, trading in sausage and bread products. At one point, the great-grandfather Giovanni, who lived with the dream of wine, decided to implement it in a fertile valley in Lange 25-30 miles from home. Together with his sons Nando (Fernando), a connoisseur wines, and Ercole, who had a great entrepreneurial talent, head of the family settles in the historic center of Alba, taking on lease the old cellar on Via Ratatstsi 2, whose owner had no heirs. Commercial activities in the family wine-making began with the 1921., Rivett buy the best grapes of the Party in the areas of Barolo, Serralunga, La Morra, Sinio, Diano, and so, arguing as vinoproizvoditeli and sellers of quality Piedmontese wines. As is known, except money and talent to each of us need a little luck, some sort of small but brilliant idea to bring to life what they want.

exactly what happened back in 1939. Grandfather Enrico Ercole (the son of Giovanni) takes household Loyrano princes Vassallo. Nahodilos she 400metrovoy height above sea level and boasts panoramic views moglo, from which are breathtaking - a view of the castle and town of Serralunga Sinio. So Rivett settled in One of the most beautiful places in the Langhe, where you can come in our day, relax in the farm holiday, try the wonderful wines (some of the best of those whom I have ever enjoy), and plunge into the atmosphere Piedmont Provence. In the cellars of the family proihvodyatsya and maintained such wines, Dolcetto d'Alba as, Barbera d'Alba, Nebbiolo d'Alba, Barolo, Barbaresco, under constant supervision assured of excellent quality and taste, only improve over time.

All this thanks to the work of four generations of professionals, exclusive technology and experience, work bapravlennoy to maintain the standards laid down many years ago and are unique to this vine growing on clay-limestone soil samples are presented in a room farm holiday.

In recent years, the family Rivett, father, mother and sons, Alessandro and Enrico gained valuable territory in Serralunga, opened a showroom in Piazza Garibaldi in the heart of Alba, and built in Loyrano farm holiday where we moved from Turin in search of the joys of rural life and opportunities to see how a family lives wine producers in constant contact with nature, the contact that has lasted a century.
I will not write technical details, how is this or that wine, because if you're not an expert, you do very little to say, if you wish to experts and all interested owners happy everlasting all the details in place. I will say one thing. It is impossible to remain indifferent in the form of tender shoots Nebbiolo. This feeling must at least once, but try. And I hope that what I feel, my friends, we passed Nadia and Lesha and kiddies Jaroslaw and Leonid, who visited Rivett. We tried!
