Barolo docg Ravera Vietti 2019 BIO

The Barolo Ravera by Vietti is made with 100% Nebbiolo grapes grown within the prestigious Ravera cru in the municipality of Novello, in one of the hills with the best exposure for the production of Barolo wine. After aging for about 32 months in large oak barrels, a Barolo with a classic and traditional style is obtained, characterized by an intense garnet red color. In the nose it develops a complex and austere bouquet, on which floral and fruity hints stand out, with pepper on the finish. On the palate it is fine, elegant and refined, characterized by a robust structure and intense tannins. With a long and persistent finish, the Barolo Ravera by Vietti pairs perfectly with game, red meat and mature cheeses.

The oenological history of Vietti's cave goes back up the end of 800, when Carlo Vietti gave birth to a winery in the territory of Castiglione Falletto, in the province of Cuneo: the first bottle of Vietti's Barolo comes from 1873. After the death of Carlo, his son Mario and then the son-in-law of this last enter the cave: Alfredo Currado, the son-in law of Mario is oenologist since 1952 and he managed the winery with his wife Luciana. Both passionate of art, they have decided to create the Wine’s collection with Author Labels. Since 1983 the cave is passed in the hands of Mario Cordero, the son-in-law of Alfredo, who, after some experiences in Europe, has decided to give the management of the winery to Luca Currado. In 2016 the historic winery was acquired by Krause Holdings, enabling Luca and his wife Elena, always at the head of Vietti brand, to add a number of prized crus to the estate’s holdings, and be able as a result to look to a future with new, stimulating prospects.
