PRODUCT OVERVIEW/REVIEW:
Fattoria la Rivolta was established in 1997 by brothers Mario and Paolo Cotroneo. Located in the province of Benevento in the shadows of Mount Taburno in Campania, its 29 hectares of vineyards sit 1000 to 2000 feet above sea level and have been farmed organically since the winery's beginnings. The vines are all hand-harvested in order to produce low yields, which bring forth wines with ripe fruits.

Stainless steel fermented and aged in seasoned oak casks for 18 months, today's wine has aromas of blackberries and black cherries that follow on the medium-bodied palate, where accents of white pepper and savory herbs lend complexity. Balancing acidity infuses the fruit characters with youthful vibrancy and gives the wine a long finish. Check out the press!

91 points, Robert Parker:
"Made with certified organic fruit, the Fattoria la Rivolta 2018 Aglianico del Taburno is true to the variety with dark fruit, dried plum, scorched earth, licorice, and grilled herb. The wine sees a light oak aging regime, and this is why the primary fruit is front and center. Production is 18,000 bottles." (10/2022)
