The 2019 Barolo Ravera is the most intensely mineral and saline of the Barolos. Crushed rocks, white pepper, flowers, orange zest, red berry fruit and bright acids all run through this finely sculpted, chiseled Barolo. Readers who enjoy Barolos of energy and tension will adore the Ravera. I have always had a soft spot for this Barolo. The 2019 is another magnificent dimension of Vietti's dark horse, a wine that over the last 10-12 years has routinely challenged for the crown here, and often won! (AG)

The 2019 Barolo Ravera is supple with aromas of licorice, raspberry liqueur, blood orange. It is medium to full-bodied, offering more citrus ripeness throughout, as well as notes of tea leaf and grenadine, fine tannins, and fresh acidity, without feeling austere. This is an adjacent property to Cogno’s prized section of Ravera Pernice. Drink 2024-2044. (AF)

The oldest part of this vineyard was planted in 1935 but the average age is 34 years. It's located at 400 metres – Ravera is one of the highest MGAs within the communes of Barolo and Novello, which it straddles. This 2019 is intensely perfumed, with dried fruits soaked in blood orange, strawberry jam and a suggestion of grace. The attack confirms this lightly extracted style, with ripe tannins, still sticky at the moment, and long, refreshing acidity leading to a good finish. (AF)

Notes

Vietti’s Ravera comes from the Novello portion of this Barolo vineyard area. The estate’s parcel faces west and southwest at roughly 400 meters, with limestone and clay soils over the Sant’Agata marls. Its oldest section was planted in 1935, and the wine is made entirely from Nebbiolo. Vietti’s work with individual Barolo sites goes back to 1961, when Alfredo Currado produced Rocche di Castiglione. The winery remains in Castiglione Falletto, where the family established it at the end of the nineteenth century. Ravera extends that vineyard focus to a particular hillside in Novello.
