Rizzi

The founder and owner of the Cantina Rizzi is Ernesto Dellapiana, who over 40 years ago, thanks to his passion for the hills and vineyards of the Langhe region, decided to abandon his career as an entrepreneur and to return to his native village of Treiso. Here, step by step, he transformed the old family farmhouse, enlarging and rebuilding it, obtaining vinification and aging rooms. After the first harvest in 1974, the Cantina Rizzi has been the protagonist of a constant evolution both in terms of quantity and quality. It is currently one of the most interesting and important realities in the Barbaresco area, counting 44 hectares of vineyards located in some of the best areas of the Barbaresco denomination: Rizzi, Nervo, Pajorè, Vigne Boito. In the vineyard, the work is attentive and scrupulous, with the aim of maximum respect for the environment and the territory. In the cellar the techniques used have the aim of enhancing and exalting the organoleptic characteristics of the grape, favoring the natural times of evolution of the wine, thus obtaining classic and profound wines, fresh and with a traditional style.
