Réva Barolo di Serralunga d'Alba

Barolo from the commune of Serralunga d'Alba, made from Lazzarito and Cerretta in vintages when Lazzarito is not bottled as Riserva; first made in 2019 and not produced every year. About 4,000 bottles are made.

Tasting notes

The fullest expression of the power of Nebbiolo. Rich, persuasive, structured yet harmonious, with ripe red fruit and balsamic tones that evolve into tobacco and mint. Firm on the palate, as only Serralunga Barolos can be, with a deep, important but balanced tannic texture.
