Complex & Elegant

Réva winery focuses on producing wines of excellence with extreme attention to the particular characteristics of each grape variety and the utmost respect for diversity. All the vineyards are cultivated organically and the estate is run by a group of young professionals who value both tradition and innovation.

Réva Barolo 'Ravera' is as extremely complex as it is balanced and elegant. Scents are spicy, with floral, red and black berries and tobacco notes. Acidity is always lively in the mouth, while it is full bodied with persistent but velvety, dense tannins. Only 4,500 bottles.

Earthy flavours such as mushrooms are also an excellent pairing for Barolo. Enjoy it with a creamy risotto with porcini.

About the Winery

Réva

Hailing from Piedmont, the northwest corner of Italy, Réva has a dynamic relationship with tradition: respect without excessive obedience, knowledge without stuffiness. This attitude is reflected in the search for a personal style that is free to communicate their character through the extraordinary expressive possibilities of the Langhe and the Barolo area.

The winery focuses on producing wines of excellence with great attention paid to the particular characteristics of each grape variety and the utmost respect for diversity. All the vineyards are cultivated organically and monitored directly by the winery team.

The winery’s roots go back to 1867 however In 2010 the winery underwent a thorough reconstruction and the acclaimed Gianluca Colombo became head oenologist. Despite his youth, Gianluca has a great deal of experience and in 2014, received the Premio Gambelli award – a prestigious award for winemakers under 35.

Press Reviews

Novello. A vineyard with a coolish microclimate. It is on the crest of the hill and with an east-south-east exposure, so it is less hit by the sun.

Healthy looking, just mid ruby. Perfumed, sweet cherry fruit nose with a hint of mace. Supple, juicy fruit that is still a bit closed, and with fresh acidity and long, sandy tannins. Sets on elegance rather than power or concentration. Great length and with a long, tannic impact. (WS)
