Refined, complex and nuanced nose with grainy minerals, grapefruit, white pepper and a mossy edge. Transparent but broad on the palate with lots of crushed wet stones and a tight, nervy finish. Delicate but powerful and ethereal too. Lots of finesse and texture. Drink from 2026.

Notes of red berries, dark spices and tree bark with hints of undergrowth. Medium-bodied, polished and refined with a juicy core of fruit and fine dusty tannins. The finish is silky smooth. Better after 2025.

Silky, displaying macerated cherry, plum, licorice and tar flavors backed by a solid, juicy structure. Reveals ripeness midpalate that carries through on the long aftertaste. Best from 2024 through 2039. 165 cases made, 15 cases imported.??–BS??Region: Italy / Piedmont / Barolo Select to Add

A lacy, graceful style, offering rose, strawberry, currant, cherry and sweet hay aromas and flavors. Harmonious and multidimensional, this picks up more density and weight, plus an underlying mineral element as it builds to the long finish. Best from 2025 through 2043. 200 cases made, 80 cases imported.??–BS??Region: Italy / Piedmont / Barolo Select to Add

Next to the Barolo Conca, the Fratelli Revello 2016 Barolo Giachini (also from La Morra) is a bit softer still, with a loose textural fiber and accessible style. Of these various Barolos, this is the most open and ready to drink in the short and medium term. The fruit is soft and supple with wild berry and blue flower, backed by light shadings of smoke, tar and camphor ash. Giachini would serve up well with a plate of agnolotti al plin with minced meat.
