G.D. Vajra’s 2021 Barolo Ravera is a stunning expression of Nebbiolo from one of the most celebrated crus in Barolo. Known for its depth and complexity, this wine offers a remarkable balance of ripe dark fruit, floral elegance, and earthy undertones that reflect the unique terroir of the Ravera vineyard.

The nose opens with aromas of blackberries, cherries, and plums, complemented by floral notes of rose and violet, with hints of tobacco, licorice, and earth. On the palate, the wine is full-bodied and structured, with firm tannins that provide a solid backbone while allowing the fruit to shine. The bright acidity enhances the freshness, while the earthy complexity adds depth. The finish is long and persistent, with lingering flavors of dark fruit, spice, and a touch of earth.

Ideal for pairing with roasted meats, game, or truffle-infused dishes, this Barolo is a wine that will continue to evolve over time, revealing even more layers of complexity as it ages. While it’s drinking beautifully now, its structure suggests it has the potential to age gracefully for years to come.

Professional Reviews

Antonio Galloni

"The 2021 Barolo Ravera is laced with bright red-toned fruit, iron, spice, cedar, tobacco and dried herbs. Bright acids and beams of tannin give the Ravera its distinctively driving feel. Today, the 2021 is a bit sinewy. I suspect it will always remain a vibrant, steely Barolo. The Ravera is a fine choice for readers who appreciate the more savory, mineral side of Barolo." -Antonio Galloni

Robert Parker

RP 97
"From one of the most sought-after crus sites today, the G.D. Vajra 2021 Barolo Ravera opens to a vibrant ruby color. The wine takes its time opening, especially when tasted young, but that delay bodes well for its future bottle evolution. This wine is built like a wall, with each brick representing its own distinct character. There is dark fruit, pressed flower, herb, ebony and a very elegant mineral side. The bouquet is direct and vertical, with lifted intensity over a medium-plus palate. The tannins are elegantly managed, and this wine has the latitude for long cellar aging. It ferments in stainless steel and ages in large oak casks." -Monica Larner

Decanter

"Initially restrained, it reveals tobacco, bay leaves and wet stone. Full and dense with a certain richness expressed by the Bricco delle Viole, but ultimately with a more steely temperament. The spicy blackcurrant is underlined by a clear mineral note. Firm, chiselled tannins increase in strength without becoming clumsy. Definitely suitable for the cellar."

"Wild berry, dog rose, violet, hay, menthol and spice aromas waft out of the glass on the incredibly fragrant and gorgeous 2021 Ravera from G.D. Vajra. Full-bodied and succulent, the delicious palate delivers raspberry compote, strawberry, baking spice and star anise alongside tightly woven, fine-grained tannins. Bright acidity keeps it youthfully tense and balanced." -Kerin O’Keefe
