Gorgeous aromas of ripe strawberries with white truffles and roses. Medium-bodied with a very tight, focused palate of chewy yet polished tannins and a long, flavorful finish of berry, walnut, cherry and some chocolate. Serious. Try after 2024.

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.
