Ravera Barolo Nebbiolo 2016


This is a textbook, full-bodied Ravera with strong mineral backbone, vibrant acidity, and sturdy tannins. Beautiful tar, white pepper, cherry and mineral aromatics follow through onto the palate, where they provide intense, concentrated depth that’s complemented by notes of cocoa, balsamic, and anise. The finish is tasty, with mostly the anise and iron/saline mineral notes coming through. The tannins add astringency to the finish, but this is overall a splendid Barolo that’s robust in style. It was delicious with ribeyes and balsamic, honey-glazed butternut squash.

This is insanely good quality for the price. Well balanced, with good acid and weight, and super floral aromatics almost like there is some Muscat in there. Very nice. — 2 months ago

Cascina Nuova Barolo Nebbiolo 2013

Far, far better (now) than the 2017, or 2020. Comparable to the Ravera. Big rose hit as soon as it opens. A bargain at $100 from Winestar. Only one, sadly. At home with Curly. — 3 days ago

Vigna Elena Barolo Nebbiolo 2009

Only a touch less panoramic perhaps than the recent 2010 of this. A little browning, probably still at its peak. Seems to respond better to gradual airing in the bottle or glass than being poured into decanter. $190 from Winestar. — 2 months ago

Bricco Pernice Barolo Nebbiolo 2016

Very similar to the recent 2013, but with more roses. Again, much softer, less powerful than the Ravera and the Vigana Elena. $225 from WA. At home with Curly. — 4 days ago
