Riva del Bric is a trademarked name that belongs to Paolo Conterno. It is not an official vineyard cru recognized by the Barolo mapping authorities. The 2014 Barolo Riva del Bric (with 20,000 bottles produced) is a loosely textured wine with broad shoulders and a deep footprint. The wine offers classic aromas of dried fruit, black currant, spice, licorice and pressed rose. It pulls its various elements together with a nice sense of unity and balance.
