Barolo Ravera

Cork

The wet 2018 vintage suits this wine, which is made from a small plot of Nebbiolo Rose, a clone which has a higher skin-to-juice ratio that can make it feel a bit intimidating in its youth. But this year, Vigna Elena offers a more appealing sip, with wonderful aromatics of terracotta, dark cherry, violet and thyme followed in the mouth by fine-grained tannins and bright acidity framing beautifully precise, crisp and crunchy cherry, raspberry and petrichor.
