Review:A balanced, fruity wine, with strawberry and blackberry character and hints of flowers. Full and fruity, with a chewy finish. Needs time in the bottle. Best after 2010. 1,000 cases made.

“Revello’s… are all elegant, aromatic, beautifully flavored offerings.” -Robert Parker, Jr. Coming seemingly out of nowhere about 10 years ago, brothers Enzo and Carlo Revello took over their father’s nine-hectare estate and almost immediately became one of the hottest estates in La Morra. The brothers have also been very close to Elio Altare, who, along with Beppe Caviola, has worked with them since their decision to leave their previous careers for full-time winemaking work; Enzo works mainly in the cellar, and Carlo in the vineyard. Since the release of their first Barolo (1993 vintage), which was a blend of fruit from all of their vineyard holdings, the brothers have released four cru bottlings, “Giachini”, “Rocche dell’Annunziata”, rare “Conca” and the premiere vintage 1999 “Gattera”. Both the Rocche and the Conca were given 91 pts for the 1998 vintage by the Wine Spectator. Barbera and Dolcetto from this estate is particularly notable for excellent drinking at attractive prices; the barrique Barbera “Ciabot du Re” won Three Glasses for the 2000 vintage; new for 2002 is a Nebbiolo Langhe.
