Product: The Giachini vineyard has two slopes with very distinctive exposures, facing east and west. The east-facing plot, Revello’s, is planted on the higher point of the vineyard, just over 250 meters high, also close to the Revello homestead. It is sandwiched between Gattera and the great Rocche dell’Annunziata. It has a similar exposure and soil composition. The vines were planted in 1995 on calcareous and clayey soil. The 0.5-hectare vineyard faces south-east at 270 meters above sea level. The grapes were hand harvested and transferred into horizontal roto-fermenters where they remained for 6 to 8 days on skins.
Tasting Note: Giachini is one of La Morra’s highest vineyards with multiple microclimates the way through owing to its length and various aspects. This cuvee is always quintessential Revello, evocatively scented with roses and red fruits, firmly structured but still pliant, and built for the medium-long term.
Region: Piedmont, Italy
