Reverdito

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 Reverdito.

Silvano Reverdito purchased his first Barolo vineyard, Bricco Cogni, in La Morra in 1967. Over the following decades he added more La Morra vines in Ascheri, Berri, Castagni, and La Serra, as well as Badarina in Serralunga d’Alba, Riva Rocca in Verduno, and Bricco San Pietro in Monforte d’Alba. The estate now totals 26 hectares and is managed by Silvano’s son Michele and daughter Sabina. They farm using traditional old-school methods – harvesting by hand and using no herbicides, pesticides, or chemical fertilizers. Copper and sulfur are used sparingly in the vines to prevent mildew. In the winery, grapes are manually sorted, and fermentation takes place spontaneously in stainless steel, using native yeasts. The Barbera d’Alba is aged in stainless steel as are the Naschetta and Pelaverga along with the more recent introduction of amphorae. The Barolos are aged in large botti.

At the root of everything is a deep love for the land of the Langhe, and the greatest respect for the environment in which they 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.
