Barolo, Ravera, 2020
Fresh forest fruits, cool and agile in profile with peppermint and violet aromas. Ravera is a big vineyard and the highest plot that they own, at over 400m. Airy red cherries and black raspberry leaf, with a refined, vertical dimension to the structure, Ravera is the day to the Prapo’s night. The Scavinos’ 2.5ha is all east exposed which brings a great deal of freshness.
critic reviews
This is a retaste. This parcel of Ravera in Novello has eastern exposures and rests on a flatter area at 430 meters above sea level. The site is open to the mountains, embracing air currents and luminosity. The Scavino family has three parcels in this MGA, measuring 2.8 hectares in total. The 2020 Barolo Ravera appears tight, nervous and complex. It shows ashy mineral tones, ferrous notes, underbrush, green herb and dark fruit. The mouthfeel is quite narrow and nervous at this young stage. I would suggest more bottle age.
The 2020 Barolo Ravera is sleek, elegant and polished. It offers a captivating mix of the savory/mineral intensity of this site and the slightly smaller-scaled structure of the year. Black cherry, lavender, sage, coffee, mint and gravel abound. Elisa Scavino has done a terrific job softening the potent Ravera tannins. I can't wait to see how this ages.
