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.

The Lazzarito cru extends in the exact half of the long strip of land drawn by the municipality of Serralunga d'Alba. Soils are characterized by the Arenarie di Diano, composed of marl, sand and a high content of limestone. This gives Barolos of fine colour that are full and round with incredible structure and texture. Cultivated from a single hectare plot and made from 100% Nebbiolo (Clone Lampia), the 2016 was aged for 36 months in large Austrian oak barrels, followed by further aging in bottle for and additional 24 months. 

This Riserva boasts a bouquet rich in fruity aromas of cherry, blackberry, and rhubarb, with hints of balsamic and herbal mint-laced nuances. On the palate, it showcases the power of this renowned cru, featuring a robust yet balanced structure. Refined acidity highlights the fruit and savoury character, while finely-grained, velvety tannins add texture and temper its ripe concentration. The finish is long and harmonious, revealing Barolo Lazzarito as an important and prized wine. Produced only in the best vintages, with a limited production of just 2,000 bottles.

Pair this unique bottling with flavourful foods such as truffle arancini, or aged Castelmagno cheese. 

Press Reviews

Falstaff

98 Points - Othmar Kiem, Simon Staffler

Clear, intense ruby with a fine garnet rim. Inviting, compact nose, notes of blood oranges rhubarb and rust, then lots of plum and some dark truffle. Polished, finely meshed tannin in the attack and course, fine salty components to it, has drive in the finish and reverberates long.

95 Points - Michael Godel

The single vineyard cru Lazazarito is added in 2016 and it is Daniele Gaia’s first harvest at Réva. Drive the best car and drive it right away. “This is the best wine Réva has never made, “ says Gaia with great irony and humility. Tasted from low temperatures (22-24 degrees) in tank there was fear of Lazzrito’s tannins. Here above Serralunga a long strip on the top of the eastern side of the hill gives a marl-calcaire meets sandy soikl and so the best of both structural worlds; freshness (also from high pH) and grip. Yes it’s silly young and impressionable but already handsome, unadorned and fruit so crunchy, yet also sapid, a pinch salty and the impression of acidity is a freshness with thanks to that elevated pH. A sample but already in bottle and will be released in two years. Drink 2024-2036. Tasted January 2020.
