| In 1980,
Bruno Porro and his wife Irma started a small 24 acre winery, called
Ribote
after an old beloved tree in front of an ancient stone farmhouse on the
property. The estate lies in Piedmont just east of the city of Alba in
the heart of the Langhe region with its gently rolling hills. All the
vineyards
face south and are located at an altitude of 1100 to 1300 feet. Uncertified Organic Wine (Producer states they do not use artificial fertilizers, herbicides or pesticides. While we cannot prove the veracity of this, we also have no reason to believe it is not true.) Tasting notes: Medium-bodied,
bright
and fruity, this Barbera's flavors suggest fresh red berries with a
slightly
earthy backdrop. 86 “Aromas of berries, orange peel and chocolate follow through to a medium-bodied palate, with light tannins and a fresh finish.” Wine Spectator Jan 2007 RECENT VINTAGE - 2004 88 - "Intense Barbera, with fresh blackberry and tight mineral character. Medium-bodied with a clean, firm fruity finish. Very silky and delicious." Wine Spectator - Jan. 31 - Feb 28, 2006 |
