Tasting notes
2012-2020 The 2006 Barolo Ravera flows from the glass with layers of super-ripe fruit. This is a voluptuous, sensual Barolo that flirts with overripeness but has just enough freshness to keep things in check. The depth, richness and detail Principiano is able to coax from these vines is impressive. New leather, tar, menthol and an assortment of other balsamic nuances linger on the round, impeccable finish. This is a terrific effort from Principiano.
