In the glass
Aroma: red fruit, chalk, white pepper, floral
Palate: ripe red berries, mineral
From the Ravera cru in Novello, this is a very elegant, refined Vietti Barolo: complex floral and chalk-edged red fruit with taut, compact tannin and a vibrant, vertical acid line.
What it pairs with
-
Agnolotti del plin
The wine's vertical acidity cuts the rich meat-stuffed pasta. -
Roast veal
Refined tannin frames the delicate meat without overpowering it. -
Raschera cheese
Semi-firm alpine cheese meets the chalky red fruit.
History
Vietti added the Ravera cru in Novello to its Barolo range in the late 2000s, prizing its elegant, chalk-driven expression of Nebbiolo.
