2019 Barolo Ravera, G. D. Vajra, Piedmont

2019 Barolo Ravera, G. D. Vajra, Piedmont

This single vineyard in the heart of Novello is Vajra’s first vineyard to ripen thanks to southern amphitheatre position. There is a lot happening with this wine, it has layers of sweet and savoury spice and a pepper note that continues on the finish. There is a richness that is beautifully balanced and brought into check with the firm, chalky tannins and lively acidity.

Tasting notes

Redolent of red fruit, mint, chalk, white pepper and orange peel. A Barolo of tension and energy, the 2019 is intensely bright and saline to the core. I would not dream of touching a bottle anytime soon. This is an especially taut style, even for Vajra
