“Michele Reverdito makes his old school, blended bottling of Barolo from his vineyard holdings in the townships of La Morra and Serralunga. As I have mentioned in the past, the Reverdito vineyards are farmed organically and Michele ferments with native yeasts and raises his wine in four thousand liter, old oak botti in the classical manner. His 2019 Barolo comes in at 14.5 percent octane in this vintage and delivers a fine, deep bouquet of cherries, gamebird, incipient notes of camphor, a beautiful base of soil, just a hint of road tar, woodsmoke, a touch of anise and a topnote of rose petals. On the palate the wine is deep, focused, full-bodied and complex, with a great core of sappy fruit, superb soil signature and grip, firm, chewy tannins, good acids and excellent balance on the long, precise and very promising finish. This is great classically-styled Barolo. 2044-2100. 94.”
