Barolo, Ravera

Notes

This is the first vintage of a new Scavino acquisition – 3ha of Ravera which, at 430 metres altitude, is their highest vineyard and the last to be harvested. A cool and windy terroir that faces east from which only 6000 bottles are produced, the rest is sold in bulk. Powerful, explosive and energetic on entry to the palate. Virile, intense fruit flavours of sloe, bramble and loganberry. Excellent freshness and crunch. Big and bold in shape but with tremendous vitality helping the wine keeps its direction and focus. This needs time to settle but promises much.

Notes

The 2015 Barolo Ravera is rather dense and monolithic in feel. And even so, there is something about the Ravera that is deeply intriguing. Rose petal, chalk, pine and a host of mineral and floral notes are presently buried under the wine’s huge fruit, but there is plenty to look forward to. I can’t wait to see how the 2015 ages, and how future vintages develop. To be sure, this is an impressive debut.
