Tasting Notes

Vinous Antonio Galloni - 04 Jan 24
The 2018 Barolo Ravera is a relatively soft wine for this site. It offers fine aromatic complexity, but not quite the depth or persistence of the very best years. As such, it will drink well with minimal cellaring. Touches of cedar, dried cherry, pipe tobacco and mint linger.

The Wine Independent Susan Hulme - 13 Jul 22
The 2018 Paolo Scavino Barolo Ravera from Novello has a ripe nose - bright cherries and sun-warmed strawberries mingle with very subtle, sweet oak-spice. On the palate there is a wall of upright, dry edged tannins while the fruit in the middle is a little shy at present. There is a slight green flavor, but the crunchy, slightly less ripe tannins combine with a pleasant salty, savory finish. Wait one to two years, then drink for 15 to 20 years.

Barolo Vineyard Fine Wine

Barolo

Barolo, the "King of Wines," is a prestigious red from Piedmont, Italy, made exclusively from Nebbiolo grapes. Known for deep complexity, Barolo offers rich flavours of dark cherries, roses, truffles, and spices, with high acidity and firm tannins. It ages exceptionally well, evolving in depth and nuance. Barolo's diverse terroirs create a range of styles, from powerful to delicate. Top producers include Gaja, Bruno Giacosa, Giuseppe Rinaldi, and Marchesi di Barolo, all of whom exemplify Barolo's tradition and quality.
