About This Wine
Revello’s Dolcetto di Diano d’Alba 2024 captures the easy charm and vitality that make Dolcetto such a beloved everyday wine in Piedmont. Sourced from a small 0.7-hectare vineyard first planted in 1980, the vines grow in calcareous clay soils on the rolling slopes of Annunziata in La Morra, with both east- and west-facing exposures that lend balance and freshness to the fruit. Harvested in mid-September, the grapes are gently fermented in stainless steel, with a brief maceration to preserve Dolcetto’s hallmark vibrancy. The result is a wine that speaks directly of place—bright, aromatic, and unencumbered by oak—designed to be enjoyed in its youth. The 2023 vintage is especially pure and expressive, showing vivid notes of black raspberry, crushed stone, and violets, with a delicate lift of red fruit and spice on the finish. Medium-bodied yet lively, it offers an effortless drinkability that makes it as fitting for a simple weekday meal as it is for a convivial table of friends. Jeb Dunnuck describes it as “a pure ray of sunshine… refreshing and light on its feet,” and indeed, this Dolcetto is both joyful and versatile. Pair it with pizza, pasta Bolognese, or antipasti, and it reveals its role as the quintessential Piedmontese companion wine—accessible, authentic, and full of character.
About Revello
Nestled in the hamlet of Annunziata in La Morra, Revello has built its reputation on some of the most esteemed vineyards in the Barolo region. Over generations, the family has gradually acquired prized plots such as Gattera, Conca, Giachini, Rocche dell’Annunziata, and Cerretta—each with its own character and history. These sites are worked by hand with a deep respect for tradition, where careful pruning, green harvests, and organic practices ensure that only the best fruit is carried into the cellar. The belief is simple yet profound: the foundation of great Barolo lies in the vineyard, where the natural gifts of the land are nurtured and refined with patience and respect. Inside the winery, the Revello family embraces a distinctly modernist approach to Barolo. Since the 1990s, under the influence of mentor Elio Altare, the estate has employed short macerations in roto-fermenters, native yeasts, and aging in French barriques. This style highlights purity of fruit, silky tannins, and early approachability, without compromising the depth and longevity that Nebbiolo can deliver. Their wines, often released as single-vineyard bottlings, are expressive and precise—each cru revealing a different facet of La Morra’s elegance and perfume, while maintaining the power and structure that allow these Baroli to age gracefully for decades. Today, the estate is in the hands of Elena and Simone Revello, who carry forward the family’s legacy with a blend of tradition and innovation. Their focus on sustainability in both vineyard and cellar ensures that Revello wines reflect not only the terroir but also a vision for the future of Barolo. Critics have praised their balance of finesse and intensity, with Antonio Galloni and James Suckling noting their consistent quality across vintages. From Dolcetto and Barbera to the flagship Barolo crus, Revello has established itself as one of La Morra’s most compelling voices—crafting wines that speak clearly of place, family, and a modern vision of Piedmont’s greatest appellation.
