Log in / Sign up G.D. Vajra Ravera Barolo DOCG 2020
In the 1980s newlyweds Milena and Aldo were already cultivating a little area of Ravera planted to 100% Nebbiolo. This wine is the expression of a wait lasting more than 10 years, allowing the vines to mature and the wines to gain the right structure. It’s the sunniest, most silent and beautiful amphitheatre of the area. Ravera sits at an average elevation of 360 metres and is situated at the confluence of two different geological matrices. Over millions of years the layers were superimposed, creating a rather fragile soil subject to erosion, but with enormous potential. It is predominantly Sant’Agata fossil marl, interspersed with sand deposits rich in iron.
Pairs well with rich, subtle foods like truffle risotto, handmade pasta, and thinly sliced charcuterie. It also complements dishes with fatty fish, particularly those that are fried, breaded, or spicy. Additionally, Barolo pairs well with braised meats like Osso Buco, Veal Chops, and Roasted Goose.
Brilliant ruby red colour. The nose of the 2020 Barolo Ravera reveals red orange peel, dried flowers, kirsch and menthol notes.
The wine is profound and complex, with the signature juiciness of the site and tremendous aging potential. – Vajra
