Ravera is located in the south-western corner of the appellation, in Novello – the coolest of all Barolo communes, where the wind from the Cottian Alps blows through the valleys and gives the Nebbiolo the freshness it needs in the hot summers of the Langhe. Ever since Elvio Cogno recognised the potential of this site, Ravera has been regarded as one of the most exciting crus in the entire Barolo region – and Vietti is one of the houses that has redefined its style compass with Ravera. Tortonian soils, calcareous marl, more sand than in Serralunga – this results in a texture of independent elegance. The vines face south-east, harvesting the morning sun and enjoying the cooling Alpine winds in the afternoon. 2022 was not an easy year here: the drought required precise cultivation and careful selection. Vietti harvested earlier than usual – and received grapes of unusual clarity in return.

Bright ruby red colour. On the nose, strawberry, red poppy blossom, sweet red spices – fresh, inviting, with a fragrance that does not call for big wood, but for pure location. Elegant on the palate, with fine-pored tannins, harmonious acidity and a long, clean finish. As so often, a "signature Barolo" for Vietti. SUPERIORE.DE
