Michele Reverdito is a "rising star" winemaker in Barolo. His winery is based in La Morra, a hill town that sits high above Barolo. Michele Reverdito works with two acres of Dolcetto d'Alba, two of Barbera d'Alba, five of Lange Nebbiolo and eighteen acres of Barolo, all stretching along the steep road to Verduno in the villages of La Morra and Serralunga d'Alba.
Farming is sustainable, which for this estate bans the use of all herbicides, pesticides and chemical fertilizers. Only traditional copper and sulfur are used sparingly to prevent mildew. Michele prides himself on using traditional, "old school," methods to make his wines. These include hand-harvesting and sorting, the use of wild yeasts and 4,000 liter barrels to age the wines with the more recent introduction of clay amphoras for Langhe Nascetta and Verduno Pelaverga.

The Reverdito 2019 Barolo offers a bright bouquet with cherry and dried currant aromas that are intense and easy to identify. There are floral notes with crushed rose and earthy iris root, and the mouthfeel brings on a second wave of earthy sensations. You also get some rusty nail or iron. This Barolo offers medium-rich concentration, a dry finish and a lingering metallic note.
