Tasting Note: This exceptionally pretty and elegantly crafted Barolo offers an elevated bouquet of plum and cranberry, complemented by dried rose and nice herbal notes. It captures the purity of Nebbiolo with its open-knit texture and fine tannins. Its softer, medium-bodied profile showcases mouthwatering red and black fruit flavors balanced with earthy nuances. Ready to enjoy now, this beauty will benefit from breathing time and pairs perfectly with dishes like truffle risotto.
Aging Potential: Inviting and ready to drink today. Peaking drinking window is now through 2030.
Why It Stands Out: An elegant gem from La Morra that perfectly marries finesse and value.
About the Producer: Fratelli Revello is a small, family-run winery now in its third generation, dedicated to crafting wines that are perfect for long bottle aging yet can also be appreciated in their youth. The 2020 Revello Barolo exemplifies the elegance of the La Morra region, aged for 24 months in a mix of French oak barriques followed by 9 months in bottle. With a commitment to organic practices and a philosophy of leaving each wine unfined and unfiltered, Revello captures the true essence of Nebbiolo, resulting in a wine that reflects both quality and tradition.
Critic Notes:
- "Medium red with a garnet hue, the 2020 Barolo is bright and lifted on the nose with aromas of cranberries, burnt orange peel, incense, and dried roses. Medium-bodied and lively, with ripe acidity and a balanced feel, it's refined and refreshing, with fine tannins and a very well-balanced, even finish. This is a very nice entry to the range and shows a lot of promise. Enjoy it over the next 10 years." - 93 Points, Jeb Dunnuck
- "The wine is exceptionally pretty, showing an elevated and concentrated bouquet that leaps from the glass with a mixed of cherry, sweet spice and porcini. A mouthwatering experience that is both delightful and intense the palate is lifted and shows the purity of Nebbiolo with hight toned wild red fruits woven together with savory and earthy elements that no one could undo. Drink Now - 2040." - 92 Points, Wine Enthusiast
- "The 2020 Barolo is everything a wine in this peer group should be: open-knit, inviting and ready to drink. Macerated red cherry, sweet spice, cedar and tobacco are pushed forward to round things out." - 90 Points, Vinous
