This Barolo Gattera from Fratelli Revello, a product of the excellent 2018 vintage, presents a complex and evolving aromatic profile. On the nose, expect classic Nebbiolo notes of red cherry, raspberry, and dried rose petals, interwoven with more savory hints of licorice, tar, forest floor, and a touch of sweet spice like star anise. The 15% ABV suggests a ripe fruit character with potential for cooked plum or prune notes. The palate is full-bodied and powerful, marked by high acidity and firm, structured tannins that are typical of Barolo. Flavors echo the aromatics, showcasing vibrant red fruits, violet, and earthy undertones with a long, persistent finish that leaves a savory, mineral, and tarry impression. Being unfiltered (‘VINO NON FILTRATO’), it may offer enhanced texture and depth.
