A Stunning Expression of Barolo – Vietti Barolo Ravera 2020
The Vietti Barolo Ravera 2020 is a masterful representation of the Barolo DOCG, renowned for its depth, structure, and elegance. Hailing from the celebrated Ravera vineyard in the heart of Piedmont’s Barolo region, this wine is crafted from 100% Nebbiolo grapes, a variety that thrives in the unique terroir of this area. With an impressive alcohol content of 14.5%, it balances finesse and power seamlessly.
This Barolo is an intense, energetic wine, with a complex bouquet that unfolds with vibrant floral, fruity, mineral, and spicy notes. On the palate, its structure is firm and refined, showcasing the classic characteristics of Barolo: compact tannins that are both assertive yet velvety. The finish is long-lasting and impeccably smooth, offering a lasting impression of elegance and refinement.
The growing season in 2020 began with cool, rainy weather, particularly in April, followed by slightly below-average temperatures during the summer months. Fortunately, September brought ideal conditions, with cool nights and warm days, perfect for phenolic ripening. These conditions resulted in wines that are classic, balanced, and filled with complexity.
Why Choose Vietti Barolo Ravera 2020?
This Barolo is the ideal choice for collectors and enthusiasts seeking a wine of character, depth, and longevity. With its excellent balance of tannins and acidity, it is an exceptional companion to dishes like roasted meats, game, and aged cheeses. Its ability to age gracefully over the next 10-15 years makes it a standout addition to any cellar.

| 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. |
