Barolo 'Conca'

Score

90

"The 2017 Barolo Conca is suave, open-knit and quite attractive. Sweet red cherry, spice, worn-in leather and tobacco give the impression of a wine that is on a fast aging curve. That said, all the elements are nicely balanced. A fleshy, succulent Barolo, the Conca captures the personality of this La Morra site nicely."

"Tight, linear Barolo with firm, fine tannins and very pretty length that runs through the wine. Medium-bodied with attractive berry and smoked oak. Some bitterness to the fruit. Try after 2023."

"Conca is a beautiful site in La Morra awash with morning light. The Fratelli Revello 2016 Barolo Conca reveals the tight and delicate texture that is a signature of Nebbiolo cultivated in this special corner of the appellation. The tannins are tamer here, and the wine is silkier and softer overall compared to the other wines in this portfolio. Conca is accessible and forward, and for that reason, I would suggest a medium-term drinking window."
