Cantina Tibé is the result of a passionate life choice by Andrea and Roberta Rivola who, after careers in illustration and economics, returned to their family roots in Riolo Terme to honor their father’s legacy.
Located in the heart of the Senio Valley, the estate tends six hectares of southeast-facing vineyards, where calcareous-clay soils and significant temperature shifts enhance the quality of traditional varieties: Albana, Sangiovese, and Trebbiano.
The winery’s name and identity are inextricably linked to the legend of King Tiberius and the Vena del Gesso cave, a cultural heritage that turns every bottle into an artisanal tale of sincerity, humility, and deep respect for nature.
Experiences and hospitality
The cellar, built by the family’s great-uncles in the 1960s, has been progressively modernized to highlight the innate qualities of wines produced amidst wild herbs and the summer song of crickets.
Taste enthusiasts can discover the secrets behind labels like Brandimarte, Nebula, and Re di Gès by visiting the winery directly in Riolo Terme, by booking an appointment via phone or WhatsApp.
It is an authentic sensory experience that allows visitors to get a firsthand look at a winemaking reality where visual arts meet peasant wisdom, offering the chance to purchase wines on-site or through the online shop to carry home a piece of the Vena del Gesso’s magical atmosphere.
