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.
