Ravera Barolo 2016 Vietti

Professionele reviews

Robert Parker (98)

The Vietti 2016 Barolo Ravera sees fruit from Novello in a site that faces the Novello castle up on the hill in the distance. This wine offers an impeccable balance between nose and mouth, showing immense purity and power all in one package. That harmony is sublime, and it forces the spotlight on Ravera, especially in a classic vintage such as this. This expression hits all the major cornerstones of a great Barolo, and this vintage does a great job of packaging it all together. Dark fruit, ephemeral spice, balanced acidity and elegant tannins are rolled into one beautiful wine. Production is 7,560 bottles and 300 magnums.

The purity of fruit here is really something, offering aromas and flavors of crushed strawberries and raspberries. It’s full-bodied with chewy tannins that are polished and refined. Love the finesse and strength to this. Yet, what makes this so attractive is the harmony and polish. Better than the 2015.
