Ravera Barolo DOCG
Barolo Ravera is produced with grapes from the historical cru in Novello, a guarantee of fine aromas, savory flavor, and great complexity. The mainly calcareous soil of this old vineyards adds elegance and structure to the wine, making it ideal for ageing. Austere and severe in its early years, the Barolo Ravera does not lose its typicality with the passing of the years; on the contrary, it improves all the time. A unique testimonial for a prestigious terroir, a wine that takes the typicality of Langhe hills to the top in terms of quality.
The vineyards for Barolo Ravera extend for about two hectares and a half inside the zone of the same name. They are planted at 380 m above sea level with south and southeastern exposure. The soil is very compact calcareous clay, rich in minerals that give the wine a particular savoriness. The microclimate is affected by Alpine currents and is mitigated by the nearby Tanaro River.

The Barolo Ravera bursts onto the palate with blue fruits, dark cherries, mint, licorice and spices. It shows gorgeous fleshiness and depth, with energetic, deep layers and tense complexity that flows easily into the long, evocative finish.

"Wonderful aromas of pure fruit and flowers. Intense. Raspberries and strawberries. Full-bodied, with super fine tannins and a wonderful length. So silky. Harmonious. Made from vines that are 40 to 50 years old."
— James Suckling, 2013
