Cagliero 2020 Barolo DOCG "Ravera" 750mL

Barolo from the highly regarded Ravera cru, one of the region's best vineyards, due south of the Barolo township. 

Bookended by the famed '19 and '21 vintages, the 2020 Ravera is more approachable in its youth, and showing a little more of the dusty red brick tannins. It has a lovely bouquet of roses on the nose.

The Ravera juice always spends a year in french tonneaux, followed by 2 years in large Slavonian oak. You could say this is a 2/3 traditional style Barolo. It's approachable in warmer years (including 2020) but built to last.

A quirk of Barolo bureaucracy makes this wine quite rare indeed. There are very few single vineyard Barolo that can claim residence of two communes, but this is one of them. The Ravera vines of Cagliero include the small portion that extends into the Barolo commune, while the rest resides in Novello.
