Cascina Vano is a fourth-generation winery located in Neive, Italy. The estate is comprised of fifteen hectares of organically-farmed vineyards located in the heart of the Barbaresco. The Rivetti family has been growing grapes since 1890, though it wasn't until 1960 when Beppe Rivetti transformed the farm into a full bottling winery. Currently Beppe's son Bruno — fourth generation winegrower — runs the property with help from his two children, Beatrice and Marco, who are fully educated on the vineyards, the cellar and each of the Rivetti family's wines. The family's pride and passion is foremost the promotion and preservation of the Langhe. Cascina Vano is part of The Green Experience initiative, which is a collective of Piemontese wine producers who together strive to improve the quality of wines and take care of the soil, the biodiversity and the landscape of the Langhe.
Cascina Vano's offering is 100% Dolcetto sourced from the family's Rivetti Vineyard. The wine is fermented and aged in stainless steel to preserve its freshness and pure fruit flavors. On the nose, there are beautiful red and black fruit aromas mixed with notes of purple flowers. The palate is medium-bodied and bright with flavors of raspberries and blueberries punctuated by a delightfully fresh acidity. The finish is dry and refreshing. This Dolcetto is the perfect everyday red: a stellar pairing for whatever is served on the dinner table, but equally delicious on its own.
