Ceppi Alti
By Réva, Barolo, Piemonte, Italy
A Barbera from Roddino, in the Alta Langa, fermented and aged in steel. About 5,000 bottles are made.
Tasting notes
Fresh, lively aromas of crisp cherry, plum and small black fruits, with light floral notes and a hint of sweet spice and slight balsamic touch. Brilliant acidity on the palate; energetic, tense, with minimal but well-integrated tannins, fruity and very drinkable.
