Vietti’s Barolo Ravera 2018 is a wine that embodies the elegance and complexity that have made Barolo one of the world’s most celebrated wine regions. Sourced from the prestigious Ravera vineyard in the Barolo zone of the Langhe, this wine benefits from the ideal combination of altitude, soil composition, and microclimate, which allows Nebbiolo to express its full potential.
The 2018 vintage opens with an inviting bouquet of dark fruit—blackberries and plums—intertwined with the signature floral notes of Nebbiolo—rose petals and violets. The palate reveals a wine of great structure and precision, with firm tannins that provide backbone while maintaining a refined texture. The acidity is well-integrated, offering freshness that balances the depth of the fruit. As the wine evolves, earthy undertones of tobacco and leather emerge, adding layers of complexity. The finish is long, with lingering notes of mineral and spice that reflect the terroir of Ravera.
Vietti’s Barolo Ravera 2018 is an excellent choice for aging, with the potential to evolve beautifully over the next 10 to 20 years. It pairs beautifully with rich dishes such as roasted meats, game, or aged cheeses, and is a perfect wine for collectors and those who appreciate the timeless elegance of Barolo. Whether enjoyed now or cellared, this wine offers a true reflection of the Ravera vineyard’s exceptional ability to produce wines with both power and finesse.
