## Summary

A Barolo named Ravera, from Nebbiolo with a small share of whole bunches, aged about 24 months in large oak casks.

## Tasting notes

Ruby red turning garnet with age. Very wide-ranging nose, from primary red fruit to spice and fresher, minty and balsamic notes, becoming richer in bottle. Full and very long on the palate, with a unique, persuasive tannic weave and pleasant acid lift.

## Food pairings

Dishes with strong, decided flavours, game, well-hung red meats, blue or aged cheeses.
