Ravera Barolo Nebbiolo

Vietti Winery Dinner with Elena Currado; 26 October 2018 at Wheatleigh Hotel; Lenox, MA

Just wow, amazing Nebbiolo...

Bought at the vinyard in 2019 and we definately hit this at a sweet spot. Opens with menthol but soon comes fruit and leather. Perfect acidity. Very enjoyable

Quite intense and deep colour , ruby centre and quite thin garnet rim . Quite dense and meaty on the nose , darker fruits , liquorice , grafite , crushed rocks and tar . On the palate this is quite strict , with fresh acidity and quite dry , gritty tannins . Black tea , saline liquorice hints , dried herbs , quite serious and classic . This needs time in the glass , or better still 5 years or so , and will last well a further 10 or so
