The Carlo Revello & Figli R.G. is a prestigious red wine from the 2015 vintage, produced by the historic winery Carlo Revello & Figli. Located in La Morra within the Barolo appellation of Piedmont, Italy, this wine represents a significant chapter in the estate's history. It was part of the "Cuvée R.G." series, produced between 2013 and 2016, which was discontinued following a family split in 2016. The production is limited to approximately 333 cases, underscoring its exclusivity.

The wine is crafted exclusively from 100% Nebbiolo grapes sourced from two MGA vineyards (Menzioni Geografiche Aggiuntive): Rocche dell'Annunziata and Giachini. The vineyards benefit from Tortonian soil compositions, specifically fossil marls from Sant’Agata mixed with calcareous clay-loam. Rocche dell'Annunziata is situated on a south-southwest-facing slope between 270 and 380 meters above sea level, while Giachini faces southeast at 270 meters. The estate practices Lutte raisonnée, utilizing only sulfur and copper for treatments along with organic fertilization.

Vinification begins with indigenous yeasts in vertical steel tanks. The must undergoes a maceration period of seven to ten days before undergoing malolactic fermentation in steel. Following this, the wine is aged for 24 months in oak barrels. The wine reaches 15% alcohol by volume.

Critical reception for the 2015 vintage has been highly favorable. The Wine Advocate awarded the wine a score of 94. James Suckling was even more enthusiastic, granting it a rating of 96. These scores reflect the wine's quality and structure, derived from its specific terroir and traditional winemaking approach. Overall, the Carlo Revello & Figli R.G. stands as a refined expression of Barolo’s La Morra zone, characterized by its complex soil origins and careful, limited production.

Learn more about Carlo Revello & Figli

Giovanni Revello arrived in L'Annunziata, in La Morra, in 1945. In 1954 the family rented a farmhouse owned by the Parish of San Martino, and the following year Giovanni and his sons began replanting the vineyards. Their first own bottle waited until 1967, an exceptional vintage in which they decided to vinify part of the harvest and bottle it as "Giovanni Revello & Figli". The first land they owned outright, in the Gattera cru, came only in 1971.

In 1990 the brothers Lorenzo and Carlo took over, and in 1992 the figure who would shape the house style stepped in: Elio Altare, the man who rewrote modern Barolo, mentored them and changed the way they worked. That is where the horizontal rotary fermenters and the French barriques they still use come from.

The current estate was born of a break. In 2016 the brothers divided the family holdings and Carlo Revello & Figli came into being. The split had a concrete consequence in the glass: the R.G. cuvée, made only between 2013 and 2016 in barely 333 cases, was discontinued that same year.

Carlo works today with his eldest son Erik, trained at the Alba School of Oenology, from a new cellar in the hamlet of Santa Maria. Seven hectares split between Rocche dell'Annunziata, Giachini, Conca and Gattera, plus Bricco Manescotto and Boiolo since 2011, on Tortonian Sant'Agata fossil marls: silty, clayey and calcareous. Rocche dell'Annunziata has been documented as vineyard land since the year 1200.

The movement of recent years runs against what they were taught: each season they replace barriques with large Slavonian oak casks.
