Barolo Ravera

Full

Cork

Tightly wound, this is one of the few 2022s that demands ageing, hinting at white blossom and dark red berries. Vertical in progression, the palate is measured in power and judiciously concentrated but not rich. Base notes of earth, creosote and stone lurk at its depths, while thrilling, grainy tannins are textured and in step with the fruit – though still clenched in an iron fist. Given a harvest of small berries with very thick skins, Valter Fissore avoided including whole bunches with stems, and shortened submerged cap macerations to curb tannin extraction.
