Barolo, Ravera,

This is the first vintage of a new Scavino acquisition – 3ha of Ravera which, at 430 metres altitude, is their highest vineyard and the last to be harvested. A cool and windy terroir that faces east from which only 6000 bottles are produced, the rest is sold in bulk. Powerful, explosive and energetic on entry to the palate. Virile, intense fruit flavours of sloe, bramble and loganberry. Excellent freshness and crunch. Big and bold in shape but with tremendous vitality helping the wine keeps its direction and focus. This needs time to settle but promises much.
