2010 is one of those landmark vintages in Barolo—long, cool, and slow to ripen—and in Vajra’s hands, the Ravera cru becomes something profound. This isn't a wine that rushes to show itself. It's deliberate, complex, and built on restraint, with over a decade of bottle age bringing it into that rare window where structure, perfume, and earth move in sync.

Ravera’s higher elevation and marl-rich soils give the wine a lifted, almost aerial quality. The tannins are still present, but they’ve relaxed into the frame. Rose petal, red cherry, black tea, and dried herbs give way to truffle, spice, and a mineral core that hums beneath the surface. It’s powerful, but not heavy—quietly intense rather than showy.

Drink now with a long decant or cellar it for another 5–10 years to watch it deepen. For Barolo collectors or Burgundy drinkers crossing into Nebbiolo, Vajra’s Ravera 2010 is a benchmark expression of a great site in a great year, captured at its most graceful.
