"Nervy minerality with fresh raspberries, strawberries and white pepper. Medium body with juicy, chalky tannins and a pithy finish. Drink or hold."

"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."

"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 high-toned wild red fruits woven together with savory and earthy elements that no one could undo. Drink now–2040.—J.P."

"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."

"A precise, layered, very floral wine with aromas of fresh violets, pomegranates, red cherries and a lot of licorice. Bracing acidity, a full body, elegant velvety tannins, a tight-knit structure and a long, defined, savory aftertaste. Almost drinkable now due to its elegance, but best in two or three years."

"This new estate was formed after brothers Lorenzo and Carlo (of Fratelli Revello) parted ways in 2016. A different philosophy is evident in the focused fruit and reduced oak imprint. The classic Barolo blends rented vineyards in Serralunga with holdings in La Morra and demonstrates joyful youthfulness without sacrificing a more profound, serious side. It has lovely definition of cherry, nutmeg and brushwood aromas, and succulent acidity which accentuates the bright red berry character before darker, earthy elements take hold. The palate is taut and securely framed with decisive tannins promising a solid mid-term stint in the cellar."

"The 2021 Barolo is a terrific entry-level bottling from Revello. Aromatic, pliant and yet also light on its feet, the 2021 is all charm. Bright acids drive through a core of dark red-toned fruit in this gracious, appealing Barolo. This is a gorgeous wine in its peer group. Drink it over the next handful of years."

"A sleek red, with cherry, menthol, juniper, mineral, tar and tobacco flavors riding the vibrant structure. Balanced, with refined tannins lingering with fruit and underbrush elements on the finish. Best from 2026 through 2040. 1,600 cases made, 480 cases imported."
