El Carlo Revello & Figli R.G. 2015 es un vino tinto de la bodega homónima, elaborado en la denominación de origen Barolo, específicamente en la zona de La Morra. Su identidad se define por la mezcla de uvas de dos parcelas específicas con mención geográfica adicional (MGA): Rocche dell'Annunziata, ubicada en el sur-suroeste a altitudes entre 270 y 380 metros, y Giachini, situada al sureste a 270 metros. La composición de las uvas es 100% Nebbiolo, procedente de suelos tortonenses compuestos por margas fósiles de Sant'Agata y limo-arcillas calcáreas.

La elaboración se rige bajo el principio de lutte raisonnée, aplicando únicamente azufre y cobre junto con abonado orgánico. Tras la cosecha, el mosto se fermenta con levaduras indígenas y macera entre 7 y 10 días en depósitos de acero vertical. La fermentación maloláctica se hace en acero y la crianza, de 24 meses, en barricas de roble. El producto final contiene un 15% de alcohol. Esta cuvée, conocida como R.G., solo se produjo entre 2013 y 2016, momento en que se discontinuó tras la escisión familiar de la bodega, con una producción limitada de aproximadamente 333 cajas.

En cuanto a su valoración, la crítica especializada ha otorgado al vino la puntuación de 94 puntos para Parker y 96 puntos para James Suckling. Se trata de una expresión de Barolo de alta gama, limitada en cantidad y vinculada a un periodo histórico específico de la bodega, destacando por sus criterios de crianza tradicionales y su procedencia en viñedos de la MGA Rocche dell'Annunziata.

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.
