The history
The history of the Rivetto family starts at the end of the nineteenth century in a grocery-baker’s-salami shop in a small village near Asti.
Great-grandpa Giovanni was a great wine-lover, and 25-30 km away discovered the hills of the Langhe. With his sons Nando, an expert of wines, and Ercole, with his intuitions and professional skills, he settles in the old center of the town of alba, and rent an old cellar from a man without sons.
In 1921 they start their commercial wine-making activity, and buy the best grapes they can find in the nearby towns: Barolo, Serralunga, Sinio, La Morra, Diano, showing their skills and becoming great wine-makers.
