Tasting notes
The 2021 Barolo Ravera has a jeweled ruby hue and is gorgeous and pure on the nose, with aromas of raspberry liqueur, sweet tea leaf, pressed flowers, and fresh sage. It’s elegant and refined on the palate, with a seamless and even feel, silky, ripe tannins, refreshing acidity, and a long, graceful finish. It’s a fabulous wine to taste now but offers a wide window for enjoyment over the coming 20 or so years.

Pale red. Heady, mulchy nose. Then sweet palate entry followed by extremely drying tannins. Not nearly ready. A bit jagged at the moment. (JR)
You feel the dark fruit intensity of Novello in the Paolo Scavino 2021 Barolo Ravera. This is a very fine and well-constructed wine with layers of ripe cherry, iris root, crushed stone and licorice. The tannins are powdery, but the wine's structure remains firm and intact. Ravera promises a long life but remains attractive and accessible in the medium term, should you choose to uncork this bottle sooner.
The 2021 Barolo Ravera is captures all the signatures of this site. Iron, white pepper, sage, mint, chalk and red-toned fruit all grace this sculpted, vibrant young Barolo. I especialy admire its energy and tension. Clean mineral notes support the bracing finish. Readers should plan on cellaring the 2021 for at least a few years.
