Fratelli Revello Fratelli Revello Barolo 2021 750ml

A precise, layered, very floral wine with aromas of fresh violets, pomegranates, red cherries and a lot of licorice. Bracing acidity, a full body, elegant velvety tannins, a tight-knit structure and a long, defined, savory aftertaste. Almost drinkable now due to its elegance, but best in two or three years.

Pouring a medium red color, the 2021 Barolo displays a notable oak-influenced profile, with aromas of crushed strawberries, cherries, cedar, vanilla, and nutmeg. Medium-bodied, it has refreshing acidity and refined definition, finishing with good length and hints of tangerine citrus. Charming already, it should drink well over the coming decade. Drink 2026-2036.

The 2021 Barolo is a terrific entry-level bottling from Revello. Aromatic, pliant and yet also light on its feet, the 2021 is all charm. Bright acids drive through a core of dark red-toned fruit in this gracious, appealing Barolo. This is a gorgeous wine in its peer group. Drink it over the next handful of years.
