Cagliero’s Barolo Ravera 2016 is a true reflection of the estate’s commitment to the terroir of the Ravera vineyard in Monforte d’Alba. This is a wine that tells the story of Barolo, where Nebbiolo flourishes in soils rich in clay and limestone, shaped by centuries of history and tradition. Ravera is known for producing wines that balance power with grace, and the 2016 vintage is a fine example of how the vineyard can express both the strength and elegance of Nebbiolo.
What sets this Barolo apart is the meticulous care in both vineyard and cellar practices. The Ravera vineyard’s altitude and exposure allow for slow ripening, which imparts a beautiful balance of fruit and tannin. In the glass, the wine reveals the complexity of the vineyard’s signature characteristics: structure, minerality, and a deep, earthy character that develops over time. It’s a wine that invites reflection, offering layers that unfold as it breathes, each sip revealing more about the land and the vintage.
Cagliero’s Barolo Ravera 2016 is for those who appreciate wines with the ability to age and evolve, yet it is already an exceptional experience now. Perfect with rich, slow-cooked dishes or to be savored slowly on its own, this Barolo is a classic representation of Barolo’s potential—a wine that will continue to develop over the next decade, telling its story with each passing year.
