Ravera is recognized as the most important single vineyard in Comune di Novello.

Our parcels are located in the southern amphitheater, between 320 and 340 meters asl. 100% Nebbiolo. Comune di Ravera. In 2020, Ravera was harvested over two days, on October 5th and 6th. Grapes were sorted manually three times: directly on the vine, as whole clusters on the sorting tables, and lastly as single berries. Vinification was carried in vertical tini, with gentle punch-downs and rinsing of the cap and lasted 55 days, including a submerged cap maceration. Spontaneous malolactic fermentation occurred in the following Spring. The wine was aged for 28 months in large Slavonian casks of 25 and 50 hectolitres. Bottled on July 11th 2023. Brilliant ruby red colour. The nose of the 2020 Barolo Ravera reveals red orange peel, dried flowers, kirsch and menthol notes. The wine is profound and complex, with the signature juiciness of the site and tremendous aging potential. - Giuseppe Vaira, Winemaker.
