The Réva winery in Monforte dâAlba dates back to 1867, but its modern era began in 2013, under the ownership of Miroslav Lekes from the Czech Republic. He appointed Gianluca Colombo as oenologist, and has worked tirelessly to perfect the wines produced on the small 7.5-hectare estate, while also seeking to improve sustainability. Vineyard practice is 100% organic.
Barolo Ravera is as extremely complex as it is balanced and elegant. Scents are spicy, with floral (red rose), red and black berries and tobacco aromas. Acidity is lively on the palate, finishing full-bodied and persistent, with velvety, dense tannins.
Try it with boar sausage, aged cheese and honey, mushroom and pork risotto.
A wine that is drinking well now, but with space for further improvement in the next few years. From the Ravera cru-vineyard.
