Barolo, Ravera, 2022
Waves of dark fruits, balsamic notes and dried herbs dominate a more solid Ravera that contains a more imposing tannic structure next to the Bussia today. It will benefit from a bit more time in the bottle. Ravera is a big vineyard and the second highest plot that Scavino owns, at 430m. Typically this brings a more vertical dimension to its structure, Ravera coming across in the Scavino line-up as the cool day to the Prapo’s warm night. The Scavinos’ 2.5ha is all east exposed which brings a great deal of freshness.
critic reviews
The 2022 Barolo Ravera is a potent, driving wine. Black cherry, gravel, incense, white pepper, new leather, licorice and graphite make a strong opening impression. This somber, virile Barolo packs a pretty hefty punch. I would give the tannins a bit of time to soften, as the 2022 is decidedly imposing in the early going.
