Vietti Barolo Ravera – Barolo – Red – 2017:

 

The Vietti Barolo Ravera: A Masterpiece of Piedmontese Elegance

From the highly esteemed Ravera cru in Novello, the Vietti Barolo Ravera is an outstanding single-vineyard Nebbiolo. This wine epitomises the classic Barolo style: structured, powerful, yet imbued with an extraordinary finesse derived from the unique local Sant’Agata marls. It is an essential addition to any serious cellar, offering a drinking window that spans decades.

Tasting Profile

• Appearance: Deep, intense garnet hue.
• Aroma: Austere upon opening, it gradually unfurls layers of dried floral notes (rose), dark cherry, chalk, licorice, and a hint of white pepper, demonstrating true complexity.
• Taste: Full-bodied and authoritative, characterized by taught, fine-grained tannins and a bright, persistent acidity. The palate is refined, concentrated, and beautifully balanced, a testament to the Ravera terroir.

Food Pairing & Decanting

Due to its structure, this Barolo benefits significantly from air. Decant for a minimum of 2 hours, or cellar for 5+ years. Serve at 18°C.

• Food Matches: Hearty game dishes, rich beef preparations, and mature, savoury cheeses.
