ABOUT THIS WINE
Ravera is the name of the cru where the vineyard is located. This vineyard encircles the cellar, it is essentially the hillside vineyard surrounding the farm — the great, classic cru of Novello.
Barolo Ravera is undoubtedly highly representative of the winery’s history. The distinctive features of the Barolo Ravera 2019 are precision, depth, and extreme finesse. On the nose, the bouquet is engaging and overwhelming: the ripe and juicy blackberry is masterfully intertwined with balsamic and fresh notes of eucalyptus and wild mint, spices, dry herbs, and licorice. Perfect balance between body and bright freshness, as well as silky tannins, make this Barolo a wine of great character and elegance, destined for very long aging.
