Barolo DOCG Ravera

Ravera is the most famous vineyard in the municipality of Novello. A Barolo with body and majestic depth, with noble, round and gentle tannins. It outlines a wine with fruity and floral aromas reminiscent of rose hips, but also a strong presence of tobacco, vanilla and spices. In the mouth it is perceived soft and enveloping, with excellent drinkability and structure.
