Description
Le Nebbiolo vingtenaire exprime ici le terroir de Ravera sur 3 hectares dans la commune de Novello. La colline de Ravera jouit d’une exposition sud-ouest au sol argilo-calcaire. L’élevage s’effectue sur 32 mois en foudres.
Exceptionnel 2017 pour le terroir de Ravera qui exprime plus que jamais sa race singulière sur ce millésime de vigneron. Énorme énergie aromatique qui révèle des notes minérales crayeuses, les pétales de rose et le poivre blanc à l’aération. La bouche impressionne par l’intensité de ses saveurs fruitées et ses tanins de haut-vol !
Suggestion gourmande
Tomahawk de Simmental grillé aux sarments de Nebbiolo, grenailles à la braise.
Avis des Experts
James Suckling
"Dried strawberry and citrus rind, as well as subtle undertones of smoke and dried flowers. Full-bodied, yet so tight and composed with freshness and lightness, yet power, too. Long finish. This really needs time to open. Classic style. Try after 2025."
The Wine Advocate
"With fruit from Novello, the Vietti 2017 Barolo Ravera is immediately expressive and articulate. The message it communicates is one of elegance and finesse, and the mouthfeel is especially important to this bottle. A silky, almost glossy sheen sets up aromas of cassis, blueberry, wild cherry and crushed stone. These various elements literally glide or skate together in seamless harmony."
Wine Spectator
"Broad and saturated with cherry, black currant and plum flavors, this red is expansive and yet well defined. The ripe fruit is offset by nervous tannins, leaving a resonant, energetic feel on the lengthy finish. Eucalyptus, iron and tobacco notes add detail. Best from 2025 through 2047."
Jeb Dunnuck
"Located in Novello, from three hectares of the Ravera MGA with southwest exposure, the 2017 Barolo Ravera was aged for 32 months in large oak casks. It is forward and expressive with fresh pine, candied cranberry, orange oil, and aniseed. The palate is full of energetic tension, balance, and purity, with apricot pit, tea leaf and saline minerality. An inspiring wine to close out the Vietti 2017 lineup. Drink 2025-2050."
Vinous
"The 2017 Barolo Ravera is a powerhouse. My impression is that the 2017 is going to develop into something truly special. It has all the energy that makes this site so distinctive, but with an extra kick of fruit density and a whole range of exotic aromatics that make for a truly drop dead gorgeous wine. Bright red/purplish fruit, rose petal, chalk and white pepper build into a finish laced with searing intensity. This is such and impressive wine. Drinking window: 2027 - 2042"
