Vietti Barolo Ravera DOCG 2017

The 2017 Barolo Ravera is a powerhouse. My impression is that the 2017 is going to develop into something truly special. It has all the energy that makes this site so distinctive, but with an extra kick of fruit density and a whole range of exotic aromatics that make for a truly drop-dead gorgeous wine. Bright red/purplish fruit, rose petals, chalk and white pepper build into a finish laced with searing intensity. This is such an impressive wine.
