Analytical Data
Wine Production
After the harvest, destalking, and soft pressing, the wine is fermented in temperature controlled tanks with the musts in contact with the skins and pips. After racking, the ideal conditions for a perfect malolactic fermentation are created in the cellar. The wine matures in Slavonia oak barrels for 42 months and ages in bottle before being released. Everything is done with respect for tradition, and with the most modern methodologies and tools.
About the Vineyard
Barolo Ravera is produced with the grapes of the most important cru in Novello, consistently achieving a wine with fine aromas, rich flavor, and great complexity. The mainly calcareous soil of this historical vineyard adds elegance and structure to the wine, making it ideal for aging. Austere and severe in its early years, Barolo Ravera loses none of its typicity with the passing of time.
