Reviewed December 2023Aromas of smoked black plums, campfire, sandalwood and oak spice waft from the glass. The generous and forward palate offers black cherry, leather, sweet tobacco with burnt sage. Structured with firm tannins, the wine can go even longer in the cellar. Drink now–2035. *Cellar Selection* (JP)

Vinous
A host of dark cherries, smoke, tobacco, licorice and melted road tar hit the palate in the 2010 Roero Riserva Renesio, while firm tannins convey an impression of masculine intensity. Brooding and earthy, the 2010 is going to need at least a few years in bottle to soften, but it is impressive, even at this early stage. 91+ (AG)

The 2010 Malvirà "Renesio" Roero Riserva Nebbiolo is an absolute standout from a monumental Piedmontese vintage. It retains an electric tension, driven by profound earthy minerality, crushed dried flowers, and a chiseled, architectural structure that shows it still has years of graceful evolution ahead.
Notes
The Renesio vineyard is often associated with a slightly broader and more powerful expression of Roero Nebbiolo. The 2010 offers impressive depth, with notes of black cherry, dried flowers, licorice, and crushed herbs. While beautifully mature, the wine retains enough structure to continue evolving for years to come. This is a serious Piedmont wine that showcases the pedigree of both the vintage and the site at an extremely attractive price. Previously reviewed at 91 points by Vinous and 94 points by Wine Enthusiast.
