"A fresh, juicy style, sporting strawberry, cherry, rose, grass, hay and tobacco flavors. Racy midpalate, with supporting tannins that leave a powdery feel on the long finish. Best from 2027 through 2046. 300 cases made, 90 cases imported."

"The 2019 Barolo Gattera is attractive, but surprisingly also a bit forward. Sweet dried red cherry, mint, crushed flowers, spice and incense lend quite a bit of aromatic complexity. I find the flavors a bit developed through. For that reason, I would prefer to drink this on the younger side."

"Very floral, showcasing aromas of roses along with a touch of lavender, cranberries, orange rind and a hint of pomegranate. It is polished and refined, featuring luminous yet discreet fruit, complemented by firm tannins that resolve into a linear, focused finish. Best ever from here. Best enjoyed from 2026."

"The 2021 Barolo Gattera is one of the more restrained wines from Fratelli Revello. Bright acids and beams of supporting tannin confer elements of classicism that play off a core of forward La Morra fruit. White pepper, mint, chalk and slate add an attractive upper register of aromatic presence. This is impeccably done."

"There's purity and finesse to this red, which boasts cherry, raspberry, rose, mint and mineral flavors. Defined by its solid structure, with pliable tannins and lively acidity. Shows fine balance and length overall. Best from 2028 through 2045. —B.S."

"Mineral, red cherries, plums and a touch of white pepper. Tight, fresh and refined on the palate with tight, minerally textured tannins and a long, linear finish. Mineral, transparent and very nicely austere. Drink from 2025."

"The medium red 2020 Barolo Gattera has a lovely floral nose with aromas of fresh roses, wild strawberries, lavender, and mossy earth. On the palate, it's medium-bodied, bright, and balanced, with good energy, a saline mineral note, and a clean, stony finish with ripe tannins. Elegant and approachable, it's going to drink well over the next 15 years."

"The 2020 Barolo Gattera is another fine effort from Revello. It offers gorgeous aromatics and good depth, all in a charming, effusive style. Dark red fruit, cedar, spice, tobacco, menthol and crushed flowers reveal themselves with a bit of time in the glass. Give the grippy tannins a year or two to soften."

"This Barolo is a study in contrasts, with reserved dark fruits and a complex herbal undercurrent. Ripe black cherries, juicy plums and black raspberries with a hint of seeds form the core of the wine. Alongside the fruit, a medley of herbs, both fresh and dried, add intrigue. Notes of fresh mint meld with dried thyme and oregano, creating a captivating aromatic and flavor profile. The firm tannins provide structure and support for the concentrated fruit that dominate the palate. Drink now–2040.—J.P."
