Azienda Rizieri

Azienda Rizieri is located on a hillside, at an altitude of approximately 350 meters in the Sorì del Ricchino. It lies in the heart of the Langhe region, among the beautiful hills of Diano d'Alba, one of the 11 municipalities that make up the Barolo production area.

Piedmont

Nestled at the foot of the Alps in northwestern Italy, Piedmont is one of the country's most prestigious wine regions. Protected by the mountains and influenced by a continental climate with significant temperature variations, it offers ideal conditions for producing wines of great elegance and remarkable complexity.

The king of grapes in the region is Nebbiolo, the source of the legendary Barolo and Barbaresco wines—deep, tannic, and fragrant, capable of aging for decades. Arneis, on the other hand, produces elegant and aromatic white wines. In Piedmont, each hill and each village possesses its own distinct identity, expressed in the glass with unique sincerity. A true jewel of Italian winemaking heritage, the region appeals to lovers of powerful wines as much as to those passionate about balance and refinement.

What is a natural wine?

What is a natural wine?

A natural wine is made from organic or biodynamic grapes, harvested by hand and vinified without chemical inputs. No yeast or additives are used, and sulfur is very limited. The wine thus fully reflects the terroir and the winemaker's work.
