Since releasing their first Fratelli Revello Barolo in 1993, a blend of fruit from all their vineyards, four single cru-inspired wines appeared and defined Revello’s identity as a brand capable of producing single-site wine of inimitable quality. Today, the Fratelli Revello wines benefit from the utmost level of care and selection process in the vineyards. The resulting organic wines display an undeniable approachability and fruit generosity unspoiled thanks to a gentle touch in the cellar.
In the spirit of Barolo of old, the ‘Classico’ comprises a blend of all of Revello’s cru vineyards in La Morra and Serralunga d’Alba to produce a wine that is more than the sum of its parts. The soft La Morra fruits are framed by the granitic structure and angular tannin of the Serralunga portion, and all-up this is Revello’s most complete Barolo in its early years.
Nervy minerality with fresh raspberries, strawberries and white pepper. Medium body with juicy, chalky tannins and a pithy finish. Drink or hold.
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.
