Note di degustazione
(65% nebbiolo, 30% barbera d'Asti superiore and 5% cabernet sauvignon) Bright ruby. Black fruits, cherry, violet and sexy oaky tones on the nose. Bright and vinous, with strong flavors of blackberry and graphite firmed by sound acids. I might have picked this wine blind as cabernet. Chewy and broad, if not showing strong personality today. Finishes with substantial but ripe tannins and lingering notes of dark berries and violet. Rivetti did not make a 2002 Pin, and beginning with the 2003 the cabernet sauvignon will be omitted from the blend.

The 2001 Pin is a blend of a certain popularity in Piedmont – Barbera and Nebbiolo with Cabernet. The wines arouse less enthusiasm than a few years ago, largely because of the strides made with Nebbiolo and Barbera on their own. But this is one of the best Rivetti has made, a blackish ruby with ample black currant-blackberry fruit, sweet herbs, solid and velvety tannins, and much freshness on the long, deep finish. Anticipated maturity: 2004-2016. A Marc de Grazia Selection, various American importers, including Michael Skurnik, Syosset, NY; tel. (516) 677-9300, Vin Divino, Chicago, IL; tel.
