Introduction to Vietti Barolo Ravera 2019
The Vietti Barolo Ravera 2019 is a quintessential expression of Barolo, showcasing the unique terroir of the Ravera vineyard in the renowned Barolo region of Piedmont, Italy. A wine of great intensity and energy, this Barolo balances finesse with power, offering a complex bouquet of floral, fruity, mineral, and spicy notes. It is underpinned by firm, compact tannins that provide structure, culminating in a long, refined, and everlasting finish.
Tasting Notes
Vietti’s Barolo Ravera 2019 impresses with its elegance and complexity. The nose reveals delicate aromas of roses, ripe red fruit, and subtle earthy undertones, while the palate is rich and structured with a perfect balance of freshness and depth. The wine’s tannins are well-knit and persistent, providing a backbone that ensures ageing potential. Flavours of dark cherries, violets, and a touch of spice evolve with each sip, making this Barolo a sophisticated choice for wine enthusiasts.
Vintage Notes
The 2018 growing season in Piedmont was marked by a cooler climate, which included a rainy April and slightly below-average temperatures during the summer. However, September brought ideal conditions with diurnal temperature swings, which are crucial for the phenolic ripening of the Nebbiolo grapes. These conditions led to a vintage that is both classic and elegant, producing wines of great finesse, freshness, and aging potential.

| Winery | The grapes come from the single vineyard Cru ‘Ravera’ in the municipality of Novello. The Vietti estate vines cover around three hectares, located on a wonderful hillside with a western to southwestern exposure. The soil is calcareous clayey, and there is the presence of the renowned Marne di Sant’Agata, a limestone-rich marl in which the Nebbiolo variety thrives and produces refined wines. The grapevines have an average age of 30 years, but the oldest part of the vineyard was planted in 1935. These nearly 90-year-old, low-yielding vines produce concentrated and complex juice. The vines are trained according to the Guyot trellis system at a density of around 4,500 vines per hectare. The vines are hand-harvested in October. |
