## Summary

Ravera Barolo from Novello kept about 60 months in French oak before bottling, listed on the site as Riserva.

## Tasting notes

Ruby red with brick reflections. On the nose cherries in spirit and berry jam with a touch of white pepper, typical of this cru and of Novello. Complex nose, then a warm palate with vanilla, remarkably soft and enveloping, with sweet and complex tannins; spice returns alongside the fruit.

## Food pairings

Game, red meats in general, braises and roasts. A good meditation wine; dark chocolate and cocoa-based desserts are a good match.
