Ravera Barolo

Rich and saturated with cherry, plum, earth, tar and iron flavors, this red is muscular and bursting with energy. Tightens up on the finish, yet there's plenty of fruit and complexity, with great balance and a lingering aftertaste. Best from 2030 through 2050. 500 cases made, 150 cases imported.

A very floral wine with aromas of fresh roses, cherry stones, licorice and smoke. Very fresh on the palate, almost zesty, with a medium to full body, tight yet ripe tannins and an aftertaste of licorice and tobacco. Try after 2027.

Infused with berry and floral aromas and flavors, this red is lithe and elegant, with terrific harmony and length. Mineral, tar and wild herb accents add depth, but this is more about the fruit. The aftertaste is complex and really persists. Best from 2027 through 2047. 800 cases made, 250 cases imported.
