In 1902 the Rivetto family founded their winery in Alba capital of the renowned Langarola region.  37 years later in 1939, Ercole, the family’s patriarch, sealed the winery’s fate when he purchased the Estate of Count Loirano di Vassallo. The estate sits 400 m above sea level, occupying 89 acres facing the spectacular Serralunga d’Alba Castle and the charmingly picturesque village of Sinio. The vineyards extend from the southwest along the highest hilltop.
The land has been prized for many generations. As a token of esteem and hospitality, the Falletti family, owners of the Langhe property, bestowed upon their cousins, the Vassallo Counts, this rich land located in Loirano, a region synonymous with quality.  Sinio is home to ancient wine cellars producing Dolcetto d’Alba, Barbera d’Alba, Nebbiolo d’Alba, Barolo and Barbaresco, all of which are diligently controlled to guarantee a level of quality that improves with age.

The methods of preparing the grapes are the result of four generations of wine making. Evolving technology, combined with the region’s fertile soil and the vineyard’s mineral deposits work in delightful harmony.
In the last decade, the Rivetto enterprise has steadily grown in diverse ways. The family has purchased a valuable 2.5 acres of vineyard land in La Morra, which will extend their production. They have opened a shop in historic Piazza Garibladi, located in Alba, offering their delicious wines and grappa to the public.

The estate has opened its doors to tourists; allowing wine lovers and nature enthusiasts to stroll the magnificent grounds, experiencing the fascinating and delicious customs unique to a century old tradition.
