Territory and wine style

The Ravera vineyard is located in the area of Novello, in the heart of the Barolo d.o.c.g. denomination, on marl-limestone soils and at an altitude between 320 and 400 meters above sea level.

The finish is long, elegant, and consistent with the traditional profile of the cru.
