The Barolo DOCG Ravera Riserva wine is a wine with a fine aroma and great complexity, whose structure makes it ideal for aging. It is austere and severe in its early years of life, but it does not lose its typical characteristics over time.
After the harvest it comes the destalking, soft pressing, follows a fermentation in Inox still tanks to temperature controlled at 28°. This consists in leaving the must in contact with the skins and pips for 18 days. After racking, the ideal conditions for a perfect malolactic fermentation are created in the cellar. The wine matures in Slavonia oak big barrel (2.500lt) for 42 months and ages in the bottle for 6 months before being sold. For all step nothing is neglected; everything is done respecting the tradition but with the most modern methodologies and tools.
Ruby red colour which shows a crystalline brilliance. Intense bouquet, full and lingering; it recalls dried roses, alpine flowers and noble wood. Great structure – well-balanced thanks to the ripe tannins. Nuanced and lingering aromas and good acidity makes the Ravera a pleasing and charming wine.
It can be served with big red meat dishes and mature cheeses, it can also make for pleasant after-dinner.
