Vietti Barolo Ravera 2017
Nebbiolo from Barolo, Piedmont, Italy
Winemaker Notes
Intense garnet red color. Austere nose in the beginning, with complex floral notes that open in the glass after several minutes. Hints of red fruit, chalk and white pepper. Fine on the palate, with ripe red fruit sensations. Taut, compact tannins make this a very classic wine. Vibrant, vertical acidity. Extremely elegant and refined. Best decanted a few hours before serving.
James Suckling – 97 Points
Dried strawberry and citrus rind, as well as subtle undertones of smoke and dried flowers. Full-bodied, yet so tight and composed with freshness and lightness, yet power, too. Long finish. This really needs time to open. Classic style. Try after 2025.
Food Pairing
Pairs well with game, red meat, and mature cheeses.
