Reversanti Barolo 2020

Hailing from the prestigious Piedmont region of northern Italy, Reversanti Barolo is crafted in the heart of the Barolo appellation. Established in 2005 by the Empson family, the winery focuses on showcasing the unique nuances of Piedmontese terroir through its 80 acres of vineyards. Their winemaking philosophy centers on creating high-quality, elegant wines that remain approachable and flavorful, specifically designed for early enjoyment compared to more traditional, austere styles.

Wine Description

This garnet-coloured wine features an intense and harmonious sensory profile. The bouquet is highly aromatic, offering a floral and spicy mix of roses, iris, and violets alongside ripe berry fruit, licorice, and subtle undertones of vanilla and tobacco. On the palate, the wine is well-structured and full-bodied, characterized by a velvety texture and layered flavors of red cherries, dried blood oranges, and cocoa. Made from 100% Nebbiolo, it displays a fine, seamless texture and a lingering, persistent finish. While it is crafted for early approachability, it is expected to reach its optimal drinking window after 2026.
