From the Diano d'Alba area, one of the 11 Barolo communes, the Rizieri winery joins our wine distribution portfolio: a new range of quality Piedmontese wines that respect their terroir
We are delighted to announce a new producer in our wine import and distribution portfolio: Rizieri, a winery located in the renowned Langhe area, at Diano d'Alba, in the heart of Piedmont.
The Rizieri winery has its origins in a large wood that wraps around the vineyards, creating a unique environment in harmony with nature. Founded in the 1800s, the Rizieri estate was more recently taken over by Arturo Verrotti di Pianella in 2009. Arturo, a former doctor and wine enthusiast, has turned it into a winery dedicated to excellence and respect for nature.
From the outset, Arturo embraced a sustainable, natural approach, placing the health of the soil and the vines at the centre of everything. With care and dedication, he designed an eco-friendly, energy self-sufficient winery. To the 6.5 hectares of vineyards in Diano d'Alba, Arturo has also added a small plot in the commune of La Morra, given over entirely to Nebbiolo for Barolo in the MGA Silio.

The Rizieri range offers a wide spectrum of emotions in the glass. The Diano d'Alba Dolcetto stands out for its power and firm tannins, while the Barbera surprises with its freshness and acidity. But it is with its Nebbiolos that Rizieri really shines, offering a traditional Barolo with a rugged, thrilling character.
This corner of the Langhe has many distinctive features: the Alps shelter it from cold northern winds, while the Apennines temper Mediterranean influences. The moderate continental climate, with cold, damp winters and short, hot summers, creates ideal conditions for growing Dolcetto, Barbera and Nebbiolo.
The terroir of Diano d'Alba, with its clay and limestone soils, is a true gem for producing high-quality wines. The variety of altitudes, aspects and subsoils makes this area a paradise for viticulture.
With Rizieri joining our portfolio, we are proud to offer our customers an ever more refined and varied selection of fine wines. We are committed to discovering and sharing with you authentic gems like Rizieri, producers who tell the story of their terroir with passion and dedication in every sip.
We invite you to discover the wines of Rizieri and immerse yourself in the magic of the Langhe, a place where nature and tradition come together to create unique, thrilling wines. We remain committed to seeking out new vinous gems to share with you, bringing you unforgettable experiences with every glass.
Cheers, and here's to our next wine adventure!
