Wine Enthusiast
Elegantly structured, this focused red opens with delicate enticing scents of rose, woodland berry and star anise. The lithe polished palate delivers strawberry compote, red cherry, licorice and white pepper alongside taut smooth tannins. It’s balanced, with bright acidity. Drink 2020–2029.
Robert Parker's Wine Advocate
G D Vajra has a bit of the Ravera vineyard located just above Elvio Cogno. This estate used the fruit to make its Langhe Nebbiolo, but as the vines grew into their prime production years, G D Vajra decided to make a Barolo with the fruit instead, starting in 2010. The plot is only half a hectare in size and the vines range in age from 18 to 45 years old. The soils are rich in minerals and iron. The 2014 Barolo Ravera is indeed a fuller and more structured expression. The bouquet opens to dark fruit, iodine and mineral nuances. Ravera is a low-altitude vineyard from an estate that is specialized in high-altitude Nebbiolo farming. That added power is well suited to this thinner vintage.
