Carlo Revello & Figli 2015 | Barolo

Wine Identification
The Carlo Revello & Figli Barolo is a 2015 vintage produced by the eponymous winery in Piedmont, Italy. This red wine holds the Barolo DOCG designation, reflecting its adherence to strict regional production standards.

Origin and Winemaking
Sourced from vineyards with calcareous and clay soils, this Nebbiolo is a blend of fruit from two distinct areas: La Morra and Serralunga d’Alba. The terroir of La Morra contributes fragrant floral intensity to the bouquet, while the soils of Serralunga d’Alba provide power and structure.

The winemaking process begins with vinification in horizontal rotary macerators, maintaining approximately four days of contact with skins. Alcoholic fermentation is completed in steel tanks over roughly ten days. The malolactic fermentation takes place in French oak barrels. Following fermentation, the wine undergoes a twenty-four-month aging period in French oak casks, comprising twenty percent new wood and eighty percent used barrels.

Tasting Notes
The 2015 Barolo presents a subdued character with subtle signs of evolution. The nose offers aromas of dried currant, crushed flowers, and campfire ash. On the palate, the wine exhibits a silky and taut texture. It features polished, almost glossy tannins that provide structure without heaviness. This release, limited to 13,000 bottles, is noted for being approachable at a young stage, drinking well straight out of the gate.

Overall Character
