By Réva, Barolo, Piemonte, Italy

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