Fratelli Revello – Barolo DOCG – 2018
Barolo Classico comes from the Annunziata area of La Morra, where the soils are richer in sand, producing more fragrant and elegant wines. In this case, the wine ages for 24 months in barriques, 20% of which are new and two in bottles. It comes across as a super harmonious, round wine with sweet, velvety tannins but great freshness and intense aromas of ripe fruit. A very pleasant discovery. A perfect Barolo.

Description
The history of the Fratelli Revello winery began in 1945, when the family moved from Cherasco to the hamlet of Annunziata di La Morra, a town famous for its Barolo production. In the 1950s Giovanni planted the first vines, but still always sold the entire harvest. It was in 1967, however, the decisive year for the Revello family! Well yes in that year the quality of the grapes was more than extraordinary, so the family decided to vinify a small quantity, coming out for the first time with their own label “Giovanni Revello e Figli.” Over the years Giovanni,now helped by his sons Lorenzo and Carlo slightly expanded the winery with the purchase of some of La Morra’s best crus, such as Gattera, Conca, Giachini and Rocche dell’Annunziata with the aim of vinifying them in purity.
Since the 1990s we have seen a marked improvement and attention in the winery and wines, thanks to the entry of Giovanni’s sons helped also by the great innovator and producer Elio Altare. The philosophy of the winery is to produce great wines starting from the vineyard, completely eliminating chemicals, thinning and selecting the clusters so as to have little quantity but more quality of grapes. In the winery, on the other hand, the style has always been quite modern, staying short on fermentations and using mainly barriques.
