NOTES FROM VINOVOSS SOMMELIER
Upon pouring, the Barolo Ravera captivates with a brilliant ruby red hue, signaling the intricate experience to follow.The nose is a tapestry of deep and nuanced aromas, featuring black cherry, tar, and roses interwoven with subtle notes of truffle, tobacco, and a hint of mint. On the palate, it reveals a compelling structure and profound depth. Ripe red fruits like raspberry and plum dance alongside complex layers of licorice, leather, and earthy undertones. Firm, yet elegantly integrated tannins, provide a framework for the lush flavors, carried through to a resonating finish by a fine, balanced acidity. This Barolo is a monument to the grandeur achievable in Piedmont's hallowed soils.
