Product: Revello’s sole vineyard that’s located in Serralunga d’Alba, and their only Barolo site with an exposure tending west in one part and north-east in another. Its eastern-most position, bordering the Barolo DOCG, is the basis for the mineral quality that distinguishes it from the other bottlings. The vines were planted between 2000 and 2010 on calcareous and clayey soil. The 0.5 -hectare vineyard faces south-east. The grapes were hand harvested and transferred into horizontal roto-fermenters where they remained for 6 to 8 days on skins.
Tasting Note: Revello’s plot is on the border of the Barolo DOCG and strongly influenced by the neighbouring woods. Still showing the house’s sensitive style, it layers darker fruits, licorice and graphite with harder-edged tannins. A purists’ Barolo, built for the long haul
