The red wine Leon Riserva Barolo DOCG, vintage 2012 from the winery Rivetto dal 1902 has been rated in 2018 by Othmar Kiem, Simon Staffler with 92 Falstaff points. It is a wine made from the grape variety Nebbiolo from the region Piedmont in Italy.
Bright, intense garnet red in colour. A very appealing, intense nose of beeswax, raspberries, dried rose petals and orange peel, with some cardamom emerging also. Hearty and gripping on the palate thanks to dense tannins, but begins to feel a bit imprecise on the back end.
