Vietti Barolo Ravera 2020 DOCG 0.75l

Vietti Barolo Ravera 2020 DOCG is a wine made from the Ravera cru in the Langhe region of Piedmont, where marl and limestone soils, exposed to a dry and breezy climate, nourish Nebbiolo capable of expressing an elegant and structured presence right from its release. The Vietti winery represents one of the most solid traditions in the Italian wine scene: a family history intertwined over time with a rigorous understanding of the terroir, obsessive care of the vineyard, and a cellar where every gesture is geared towards preserving the integrity of the fruit. The production philosophy is based on manual work in the vineyard, selective harvesting, and a balanced fermentation that emphasizes aromatic nuance and tannic texture. Compared to other producers, Vietti Ravera offers a vertical approach that intertwines power and minerality without overdoing it: in 2020, favorable weather conditions ensured controlled ripeness, a lengthy palate, and a steely note reminiscent of the soil. Stylistic and sensory characteristics: Intense ruby ​​color with garnet highlights, a bouquet of alternating violet petals, ripe cherry, wild berries, and hints of licorice, pink pepper, and sweet spices; enveloping yet crisp on the palate, with smooth tannins and a distinct acidity that supports an elegant texture; a long finish with mineral overtones. Role in the range: Ravera is one of the highlights of Vietti's Barolo line, demonstrating the winery's longstanding commitment to expressing iconic Nebbiolo crus. Pairing and use: Ideal with roasted red meats, mushrooms, truffles, and richly sauced dishes; it's a wine that requires time, so it's advisable to give it time to decanter and refine, even though it already displays refined elegance. In keeping with the STELT positioning, Vietti Barolo Ravera 2020 is a respected voice among the great wines of Piedmont, capable of accompanying complex gastronomic experiences over time, without sacrificing its understated magnificence.
