Cogno
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, Cogno’s flagship wine from the estate’s oldest vines, shows impressive complexity and finesse. Aromas of ripe fruit, blueberry, spice, blood orange, balsamic notes, and forest floor lead into an energetic palate with integrated tannins, vibrant freshness, saline depth, and long persistence.

"A medium ruby color with slight garnet tones, the 2006 Barolo Ravera is remarkably vibrant for the vintage. Aromas of blue-toned fruit, apricot, dried roses, and earth lead into a palate that balances structure and flesh beautifully. Medium to full-bodied, it carries the firm backbone typical of 2006 but remains remarkably balanced, with saline minerality and mouthwatering energy that keeps the wine lively. Drink 2026-2036."
