“Red Fruit, Textured, Powerful”
Deep garnet in colour. Intense aroma of red fruits such as red cherry and raspberry, black fruits, tobacco, leather and hints of violet and spice. The palate is dry, high acidity, enveloping tannin, very generous flavour intensity of red fruits, earthy, chocolate and hint of hazelnut. A very complex Barolo with long finish. However, it needs at least 2 hours or more to open. For powerful wine lovers.
... Tasting notes of:
… Pairs well with beef / lamb, goat cheese

“Aromas of cedar and camphor with a whiff of dried herb mingle together in the glass. The assertive palate offers raw cranberry, star anise, powdered sage and blood orange set against bright acidity, while dusty tannins leave a firm, drying finish.” - KERIN O’KEEFE

"The Reva winery was established in 2012 in the Tenuta di San Sebastiano, in Monforte d'Alba. They are in the heart of the Langhe and the denomination of Controlled and Guaranteed Origin Barolo, at the center of those hills that, with their beauty, have become part of the world heritage of humanity.
Right in this fantastic landscape, with a soul and a heart turned to organic, the Reva winery raises its vines and produces its wines. Seven and a half hectares of vineyards located between Monforte d'Alba, Novello, Serralunga d'Alba and La Morra at more than 300 meters above sea level, with excellent exposure and a planting density of 4500 plants per hectare." - Importer's note
