Red
Raviole
By Bricco Carlina, Barolo, Piemonte, Italy
Single-vineyard Barolo from the Raviole MGA in Grinzane Cavour, from vines planted in 1970 on west-facing limestone-clay soil at 350 m.
Tasting notes
Ruby red with definite garnet hues. Deep nose of hay, cut grass, tobacco, white pepper and wild mint. Muscular palate with a taut, mineral finish and austere, very deep tannins that persist. The producer recommends decanting a few hours before serving.
Pairs well with
Stewed meat, game, roasts, strong and mature cheeses.
