Réva Barolo "Lazzarito" 2016

Réva Barolo “Lazzarito” 2016

Réva is a modern and quality-focused winery in Monforte d'Alba, which has quickly established itself as one of the most promising producers in Piedmont. This wine comes from the famous single-vineyard Lazzarito , a southwest-facing cru in Serralunga d'Alba, known for delivering some of the most structured, deep and long-lasting Barolos. The 2016 vintage is considered one of the greatest in recent times in Piedmont, which further elevates the expression of the wine.

In the glass, the wine appears a deep garnet red color with brick reflections – classic for ripe Nebbiolo.

The aroma is intense and complex with nuances of dark cherries, wild strawberries and dried rose petals , complemented by spicy notes of licorice, tobacco, leather and tar , as well as a mineral touch from Lazzarito's calcareous clay soil. With a little time in the glass, notes of truffle, balsamic and forest floor also unfold.

The palate is rich, structured and powerful , carried by the Nebbiolo grape's distinctive tannins and a lively acidity that provides balance and nerve. The fruit is dark and intense with cherries and blackberries, flanked by notes of spice, tar and mineral firmness. The finish is long, complex and persistent with layers upon layers of development.
