Michele Reverdito Langhe Nebbiolo, Simane | 2022

Michele Reverdito is a very underrated producers in Barolo (shh!) Located in the northwest breast of Barolo, in the La Morra zone, he started bottling his own wines in 2000. These are traditional wines that show off La Morra's silky flair. The Langhe Nebbiolo "Simane" bottling is pure La Morra fruit, from over twenty-year-old vines, purely destemmed, fermented in steel with moderate skin maceration, then aged in 4,000L barrels. Off-the-chart aromatically, the nose flies with summer cherries, fleshy pink plums, candied cardamom, and strawberry-hibiscus-rose. It's juicy and generous, but then Nebbiolo's high-five tannin and acidity suck the moisture out of your mouth (in a good way). Super classic, yet easy to drink by itself, we wouldn't have our house Langhe Nebbiolo any other way. ~Allegra A
