The Vietti 2016 Barolo Ravera sees fruit from Novello in a site that faces the Novello castle up on the hill in the distance. This wine offers an impeccable balance between nose and mouth, showing immense purity and power all in one package. That harmony is sublime, and it forces the spotlight on Ravera, especially in a classic vintage such as this. This expression hits all the major cornerstones of a great Barolo, and this vintage does a great job of packaging it all together. Dark fruit, ephemeral spice, balanced acidity and elegant tannins are rolled into one beautiful wine. Production is 7,560 bottles and 300 magnums.

An austere style, with cherry, plum, white pepper, earth and menthol notes, this packs a lot of flavor and intensity into a taut frame, turning firm yet long on the tobacco- and mineral-tinged finish. Best from 2023 through 2043. 642 cases made, 193 cases imported.??–BS??Region: Italy / Piedmont / Barolo Select to Add
