Ezio Cocito has two passions: horses and wine. It was through horses that he met a young Giorgio Rivetti, who eventually convinced him to replant his family’s moscato vineyard in Neive to Nebbiolo. In a handshake deal, Giorgio agreed to make the wine for Ezio, if Ezio would stable Giorgio’s horses. They’ve been crafting the Barbaresco ‘Baluchin’ together since 2000, and we hope this bromance never ends!

Intense ruby red color. Hints of spices, fruit and flowers, a bouquet that reflects the soil on which it is born, rich in Alberese. In the mouth it is soft, with a pleasant acidity that makes the wine fresh and lively. Sweet and ripe tannins give the wine a pleasant persistence. Riserva dei Colli is an excellent expression of the Estate's Sangiovese, so much so that it bears its name.
Review:
Bordering on opulent, this red features blackberry, black currant, plum, iron and spice aromas and flavors, matched to a velvety texture. Firms up as the resonant tannins emerge, yet remains harmonious and long. Drink now through 2032. 1,700 cases made, 570 cases imported.

Bright deep ruby color, with spicy aromas reminiscent of red pepper, pepper and slight sensations of licorice.
In the mouth we can again find the typicity in its spicy flavors, balanced tannins, fresh, vibrant acidity and good volume.
Persistent, complex finish, with the authentic characteristics of a great Cabernet Franc.
Perfect companion for red and game meats, pasta, stews, rice and a variety of winter cuisine dishes.
