2017 Barolo Ravera

This Cru is located in the commune of Novello to the southwest of Barolo. The mix of clay sand and iron ore in the vineyard gives the wine a natural austerity and exceptional freshness, even in a warm vintage. The 2017 is an amazing, intense, bright red, with red cherry perfume, followed by delicate aromas of spice, leather, tobacco and incense. The palate is beautifully balanced and structured, with red fruit flavours and more earthy notes reminiscent of autumn leaves. It is distinctly mineral with a sapidity and freshness that enhance the long finish, full of delicate spice.
