PRACTICES ORGANIC FARMING

Revello's winemaking involving small French oak barrels, which imparts a slightly darker, richer character to the core of their Barolo, though they are careful to ensure that the aromatic notes of oak (anise, nutmeg, cedar, vanilla...) do not smother the well-defined Nebbiolo character they've created. This is a crowd-pleaser while remaining true to the Barolo name!

"The 2021 Barolo is a terrific entry-level bottling from Revello. Aromatic, pliant and yet also light on its feet, the 2021 is all charm. Bright acids drive through a core of dark red-toned fruit in this gracious, appealing Barolo..." - Antonio Galloni, VINOUS MEDIA

JAMES SUCKLLING 95 POINTS - "A precise, layered, very floral wine with aromas of fresh violets, pomegranates, red cherries and a lot of licorice. Bracing acidity, a full body, elegant velvety tannins, a tight-knit structure and a long, defined, savory aftertaste..."

Let this breathe in a decanter for an hour or so and serve at 65F with moderately rich dishes like mushroom risottos or braised meat in a savory wine sauce.

The classic Barolo comes from sites in La Morra, Serralunga, and Diano d'Alba. Aging take place in small French oak barrels for 2 years (20% new barrels).
