'Ravera Barolo Nebbiolo 2019
An elevated Barolo, striking light, appealing land radiant ruby color. The bouquet has an overtone of greenness with hints of mountain Forrest and dried leaves. All nuances (nose and palate) are driven on Rose and tart, yet for a 2019 remains fresh and vibrant on dark cherries and red fruit, some tobacco leaves and spices as well. Beautifully structured, incredibly balanced between its acidity and tannins. It shows its potential 120mins after opening. It has to breathe a lot. — 7 months ago

Piedmont – Italy 🇮🇹
Overview
100% Nebbiolo from the historic Gabutti cru in Serralunga d’Alba, this Barolo expresses the elegance and power typical of the zone. Nebbiolo from Gabutti often combines floral finesse with deep structure, making it one of the most distinctive Barolo terroirs.
Aromas & Flavors
Perfumed with roses, tart red cherry, dried cranberry, and hints of licorice. Subtle spice and earthy undertones lift through with air.
Mouthfeel
After a 2-hour decant, the wine opened beautifully—medium-plus body, firm tannins, and vibrant acidity that carried a smooth, polished finish. Still youthful, with years of development ahead.
Food Pairings
Ideal with truffle risotto, braised veal shank (ossobuco), or aged Parmigiano. Also beautiful alongside mushroom-based dishes.
Verdict
A perfumy, tart, and elegant Barolo from a prized cru—refined now but structured for long life. Decanting is a must to fully reveal its charms.
