Product Description
The 2014 Vietti Ravera is derived from 100% Nebbiolo grapes grown on the Ravera vineyard, spanning only 3 hectares. The vines are around 25 years old on average, with some of the oldest planted more than 80 years ago. This wine is distinguished by its exceptional finesse and precision, as well as its fine tannins that bestow impressive structure.
Tasting Notes
Robert Parker 94
"To my palate, the Ravera cru is one of the most immediately recognizable in the entire Barolo appellation. It gives off robust aromas of cherry liqueur and bitter chocolate. Those are two of the beautifully polished characteristics you get with the 2014 Barolo Ravera. But there is a lot more complexity to behold in this wine. Subtle notes of balsam herb, crushed mineral and rusty iron also appear. This next descriptor might seem awkward to a non-Italian readership, but you might even detect a hint of perfumed anchovy. It’s all good and all beautiful."
Anticipated maturity: 2022-2045
Vinous 97
Another highlight in this range, the 2014 Barolo Ravera opens with the most exquisite, captivating aromatics imaginable. It will be interesting to see if it develops a bit more midpalate depth and pliancy. Today, the 2014 is a bit austere, even within the context of the year and this site, where the wines are a bit on the nervous side to start. I have seen Vietti Raveras blossom into spectacular wines and imagine that will be the case here as well. Readers should not plan on opening a bottle anytime soon.
Anticipated maturity: 2026-2054
