Barolo DOCG 'Ravera' 2016 (750 ml.) G.D. Vajra
The Barolo “Ravera” by G.D. Vajra is a pure Nebbiolo, hand-harvested in October with great care. After fermentation, it ages for 30 months in Slavonian oak casks, developing depth and elegance. The nose is rich and expressive, with notes of raspberry, pomegranate, and orange blossom. On the palate, it reveals an austere structure, refined minerality, and noble, well-integrated tannins. The finish is long, enveloping, and deeply persistent, capturing the essence of its terroir. This is a Barolo of great character and aging potential, capable of evolving beautifully for up to 20 years. Ideal with red meats, game, and richly flavored traditional dishes. An iconic label for wine lovers.
