The Réva winery in Monforte d’Alba 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.
On the nose, this wine shows outstanding character with hints of red berries, juicy fruits and vanilla from the long time spent in barrels. Full and persistent flavors of cherries and wild blueberries on the palate with hints of spice and a medium long finish.
Excellent with roasted red meats, spicy pasta dishes, cheese and sliced meats like salami or prosciutto. Excellent wine to pair many foods with, or simply chilled and on its own.
100% organic, Reva has used tradition mixed with modern winemaking techniques to create something that is gaining awards in every country. A wine to watch!
