i. Biography
Enrico Rivetto is owner and winemaker at Rivetto dal 1902, where patience and rhythm are part of the method and the work is kept open to revision. “I am a farmer, a basketball fan and a free spirit.”
The Path
Training at Enological School in Alba gave Enrico Rivetto the formal base of the craft. The school setting points to the disciplined side of wine work: measured language, exacting standards, and the habits that shape a producer’s eye before the estate defines the rest. That foundation sits behind his later approach at Rivetto dal 1902, where the inherited name is carried forward without being treated as fixed.
The Work Today
At Rivetto dal 1902, the work is organized around change rather than repetition. Enrico Rivetto frames that stance directly: “We need to change our way of thinking, train our rational madness to make something new. For those who imagine can create.” The line is useful as a statement of practice as much as philosophy. It places invention under discipline, and it treats the estate as something that can be read again, not just preserved.
Signature
Leon Barolo Riserva and Nascetta 'Vigna Lirano' are the named signatures associated with Enrico Rivetto’s work. The two wines suggest different registers within the same estate: one marked by structure and depth, the other by a more defined vineyard identity. Taken together, they show the range of expression tied to Rivetto dal 1902.
In Their Words “We need to change our way of thinking, train our rational madness to make something new. For those who imagine can create.” “I can tell people about a new way of looking at the land and how it’s worked.”
Acclaim
The language around Enrico Rivetto returns to the same point: wine as a way of thinking about land, not only working it. At Rivetto dal 1902, that means pairing agriculture with invention, and keeping the estate responsive to change. His own self-description — farmer, basketball fan, free spirit — lands in the same register: practical, unforced, and open to possibility.
