Meet the winemaker - Cagliero
The 2019 Cagliero Barolo DOCG Ravera is an exquisite representation of the Nebbiolo grape, sourced from the esteemed Ravera vineyard in the Barolo region of Piedmont, Italy. This vintage exhibits a captivating deep ruby color, hinting at its richness and complexity.
On the nose, it presents an alluring bouquet of ripe red cherries, blackberries, and wild strawberries, layered with floral notes of violets and hints of dried herbs. As it opens up, earthy undertones of truffle and leather emerge, complemented by subtle spice nuances, creating a multifaceted aromatic profile.
On the palate, the wine is full-bodied and well-structured, showcasing vibrant acidity and finely grained tannins that provide a robust framework. Flavors of dark fruits are harmoniously balanced with notes of licorice, tobacco, and a touch of minerality, reflecting the unique terroir of the Ravera vineyard. The finish is long and elegant, leaving a lasting impression.
This Barolo is a testament to its origin, offering both power and finesse. It pairs beautifully with rich dishes such as braised lamb, mushroom risotto, or aged cheeses. While it can be enjoyed now, this wine has significant aging potential, allowing it to develop even greater complexity over the next decade or more.
