The 2019 Barolo Ravera is a wine of impact and power, and it is also a wine of the future. That's because Ravera (in the village of Novello) is one of the break-out sites that continues to awe and surprise despite a changing climate. Indeed, its high elevation and open panorama toward snow-capped mountains keeps the microclimate ventilated but also protected. Luca Currado affirms that Ravera is what Cannubi was just a few years ago. Wines from Novello also show an extraordinary but very unique evolution in which the tannic impact of the wine remains firm. This vintage shows deep intensity and good freshness. It fully covers the palate from front to back.

Fantastic aromas of bergamot, raspberry, and strawberry character. Full-bodied with a clarity and freshness to it. Fine, chewy tannins that are beautifully integrated. Punchy finish. This needs time in the bottle to soften the tannins. From organically grown grapes. Vegan. Try after 2030 and onwards.

A dark, brooding style, this red evokes hibiscus, raspberry, cherry and spice flavors, with an underlying iron note. Dense, yet focused and vibrant, with ample fruit to stand up to the muscular structure. Balanced and expressive now, yet this needs time. Best from 2027 through 2048. 642 cases made, 193 cases imported.??–BS??Region: Italy / Piedmont / Barolo Select to Add
