Description

A wonderful Barolo from Novello, from the house that put this cru on the map. This wine comes off the vines that surround their historic cellar.

While this wine is known for its youthful austere severity, as it ages it loses nothing of its classic characteristics, only gaining more depth and complexity.

Firm, elegant and potent on the nose, it’s a classic combination of rose, mint and tobacco, that will evolve over the course of time into spices, coffee, liquorice, truffle, leather. This offering is full-bodied, with a rounded bouquet of great structure and balance. A unique testimony to a prestigious terroir.

92 Points - "The 2017 Barolo Ravera is a beautiful, precise wine. Bright acids and veins of tannin give the 2017 terrific energy that carries all the way through to the finish. Crushed flowers, sweet red berry fruit, chalk, white pepper and spice all open with a bit of coaxing. This is very nicely done." - Anonio Galloni (Vinous)

94 Points - "Cherry and candied strawberry with flowers and some dried earth. Full-bodied, layered and chewy. Lots of wet earth and mushroom to the red fruit. Tight now. Try after 2023." - JamesSuckling.com

98 Points - "Made by the estate that put this celebrated cru on the map, and showing an enviable combination of elegance and power, this stunning wine opens with aromas of wild berries, underbrush, dark spice and balsamic notes of cedar and new leather. The tense, savory palate is loaded with youthful energy, showing succulent Marasca cherry, raspberry, cinnamon and star anise framed in tightly knit, refined tannins and surprisingly bright acidity for the vintage. A mineral note suggesting iron adds depth to the close." - Kerin O'Keefe (Wine Enthusiast)
