The single vineyard Ravera, in Novello, represents a very classic interpretation of the territory, with an elegant yet firm imprint, typical of the great reds of the Langhe. The presence of older parcels and the choice of traditional vinification reinforce the territorial identity of the wine, which expresses itself with breadth, depth, and remarkable evolutionary capacity.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eTasting notes\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn the glass, the wine shows an \u003cstrong\u003eintense garnet red color\u003c\/strong\u003e, a prelude to a nose that opens gradually. In its youth, it may initially appear closed, but with oxygenation, aromas of spices, menthol sensations, floral and ripe cherry fruit notes emerge, along with more balsamic and subtly earthy nuances. The sip is structured, deep, and decisive, supported by dense and authoritative tannins, well integrated with the concentration of fruit and a freshness that extends the finish. The result is a Barolo with a rigorous profile, elegant and built to evolve over time.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eRecommended pairings\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThanks to its structure, the \u003cstrong\u003eBarolo Ravera DOCG 2016 Vietti\u003c\/strong\u003e pairs well with important and flavorful dishes.
