2019 Fratelli Revello Barolo
From: La Morra, Piemonte, ItalyVarietal: Nebbiolo Taste & Critical Acclaim: “Notes of fresh cherries, dried lavender, gunpowder and crushed stones. Medium-bodied, vivid and crunchy with a compact and viscous tannin structure. Yet it’s polished and refined with floral and mineral undertones in the finish.” - 93 Points, James Suckling "A sleek red, with cherry, menthol, juniper, mineral, tar and tobacco flavors riding the vibrant structure. Balanced, with refined tannins lingering with fruit and underbrush elements on the finish. Best from 2026 through 2040. 1,600 cases made, 480 cases imported.” - 91 points, Wine Spectator 04/03/2024 Pairing: The grippy tannins of Barolo wines call for dishes with enough fat or protein to provide balance. Look for meats, creamy sauces, and aged cheeses. The wine’s lively acidity pairs well with foods with a bit of acidity, like tomatoes, vinegar-based sauces, or citrus. Remember, Barolo’s complexity and intensity require equally flavorful dishes tha
