I continue his narration of some minority wonderful edge LANGE in Piedmont e and the people that brought fame to his own wines .

This winery there since 1902 (so some sources say it's called " Rivetto dal 1902 "), and with its vineyard opens breathtaking views of the Castle of Serralunga d'Alba ( Castello Serralunga d'Alba ), although the winery stands on a hilltop 400 meters above sea level. Also situated near the picturesque village of Sinio , whose name appears on the labels and the wines of this company.
This is a family and not a very large winery, which is headed Sergio Rivett , but work in the vineyards, producing wines and their progress is now more engaged with his sons Enrico and Alessandro .
