Reverdito Michele

The Reverdito winery in La Morra was established in 2000, and is the point of arrival of a long journey embarked on in the late Sixties by Silvano, the father of owners Michele and his sister Sabina.

It is the story of the gradual acquisition of vineyards, which began in 1967 with Bricco Cogni (La Morra municipality), followed by the Menzioni Geografiche Aggiuntive (Additional Geographical References) Ascheri (La Morra), Badarina (Serralunga d’Alba), Riva Rocca (Verduno municipality), Bricco San Pietro (Monforte d’Alba municipality), La Serra, Castagni , Berri (La Morra municipality), and now amount to 26 hectares under vines located in some of the best known Barolo DOCG appellation municipalities.

At the root of everything is a deep love for the land of the Langhe, and the greatest respect for the environment in which we live – two traits that are intensely reflected in the vineyard management choices made by Michele Reverdito. Supported by his friend and consultant agronomist consultant Beppe Vivalda, Michele cultivates his vineyards without the use of invasive chemicals or elements that could pollute the land, the groundwater or the environment.

Piemonte

From Asti Spumante to Barolo, the wines of Piedmont are among Italy’s most prolific and best rated. The region’s pedigree is apparent in its 58 DOC and DOCG zones, and although it is only the sixth largest producer in terms of volume, it has the highest percentage of classified wines in all of Italy. No IGT wine area is identified. This westerly region that borders with Switzerland and France is influenced by the Alps and Apennines (the name Piedmont means "foot of the mountain") and its seasons are very distinctive. Hot, dry summers, cold winters, and temperate springs and autumns are common with occasional fog during harvest time.

Undoubtedly it is the red wines that lead the way in terms of quality and cellaring potential with wines made from the noble Nebbiolo grape. The DOCGs of Barolo, Barbaresco, Gattinara, Ghemme and Roero all represent the grape at its finest: they are complex, alluring wines with extraordinary depth and great ageing potential. Barolo ("king of wines and wine of kings") is made in the Langhe hills with its output of 6 million bottles a year far exceeding that of Barbaresco at less than 2.5 million.
