Description

The Barolo doc Ravera by Vietti is produced with Nebbiolo grapes that come from the wine yard with the same name, situated in the Novello district. Ravera of Novello is one of the hills, which have the best sun exposition for the Barolo wine production. This Barolo has a classic and traditional style, with an intense ruby red color. Its bouquet is floreal and fruity with spice and mint notes. It has a strong structure and intense tannins. The Barolo Ravera by Vietti is soft and persistent on the aftertaste and it is perfect if drunk with game, red meats and aging cheeses.

“The 2012 Barolo Ravera is once again a star. Finely cut and chiseled throughout, the 2012 boasts striking precision and nuance. Rose petal, chalk, white pepper, cranberry and pomegranate burst forward in a brilliant, exceptionally polished Barolo built on pure, sculpted elegance. Over the last few years Vietti has done a tremendous job in taming the intense Ravera tannins while preserving all of the focus that makes the wines from this site so alluring. The Ravera has been fabulous on the two occassions I have tasted it so far.” (Vinous – Antonio Galloni – March 2016)
