Réva Barolo 2016 Photo ©Tom HylandThe Italian wine industry is known for its long-lived red wines, such as Barolo and Barbaresco from Piedmont, Brunello di Montalcino from Tuscany, Amarone della Valpolicella from Veneto and Taurasi from Campania, to name a few of the most famous. Yet while the wines listed above tend to cost a fair amount (I refuse to use the word ‘expensive,’) there are often values that are available that allow wine lovers to find examples of complex, distinctive Italian red wines for not much money. One of the most rewarding of the 2016 Barolo is that of Réva, a small winery in Monforte d’Alba. As for red wine, there is one type from Campania that is above all others, and that is Taurasi. These wines are priced between $18-25 and are among the finest red wine values in all of Italy.
