Winemaker Notes

The Ravera vineyard is located in Novello and is known for producing wines with higher acidity, which results in vibrancy and mid-weight on the palate. Extremely age-worthy, Vietti's Barolo Ravera is powerful yet elegant. Purchased in 1995, Ravera was primarily used in the blend for the Castiglione Barolo (except for the 1999 and 2000 vintages, when a single-vineyard bottling was released). With the 2010 vintage, Barolo Ravera was produced and has continued each year.

95 James Suckling

The beautifully fragrant roses are impossible to resist. This oozes charm. Also, there are red cherries, cocoa powder and an array of wild herbs in the mix. The palate has toned yet muscular tannins that build nicely to deliver a concentrated core of ripe red-cherry flavor that holds long, fresh and youthful. Great Barolo . Try from 2022.

The nose is rather shy but eventually reveals balsamic aromas of camphor that mingle with blue flowers and pipe tobacco. It's full bodied and austere, delivering dried cherry, pomegranate and licorice framed in tightly woven, grainy tannins that leave a firm, drying finish. Drink 2023–2030.

About the Producer

Located in the heart of the Langhe hills, at the top of the village of Castiglione Falletto, the Vietti wine cellar was founded in the late 1800's by Carlo Vietti. The estate has gradually grown over time, and today the vineyard holdings include some of the most highly prized terroirs within the Barolo and Barbaresco winegrowing areas. Although they had been making wine for four generations, the turning point came at the end of the 1950's when Luciana Vietti married winemaker and art connoisseur Alfredo Currado, whose intuitions - from the production of one of the first Barolo crus (1961 - Roc…
