Riva
Riva is a mineral, delicate white from Tempera, built around the meeting of land and sea. Its base is five heritage cider apple varieties from Normandy, bringing a soft, lightly caramelised apple fruitiness. Jasmine white tea adds a floral lift, and hand-harvested wakame and nori seaweed bring a subtle, briny minerality that runs underneath it all. Composed from fruits, tea, and botanicals by three-Michelin-star chef Mauro Colagreco and tea expert Arielle Bove, it is light, pure, and quietly original.
Tasting Notes
The nose opens on apple, ripe and gently sweet, layered with a soft floral note of jasmine. The palate is round and fruity at first, then something surprising surfaces beneath it: a gentle iodine minerality from the seaweed, giving the drink a marine, almost oceanic depth. The finish is floral and fresh, carried by jasmine, with a tangy, zesty close. Light-bodied and beautifully balanced, land and sea in a single glass.
Pairs well with
Riva was made for the sea. Its briny minerality is a natural match for oysters, scallops, sushi and sashimi, seafood platters, and white-fleshed fish. It works just as well with goat cheese, new potatoes, or spring vegetables, and its apple heart even carries it into lighter apple desserts. A refined aperitif, too, served very cold.
