Robert Parker Wine Advocate Monica Larner - 23 Jul 20
The Sara Vezza 2016 Barolo Ravera is an elegant wine with a pretty garnet or dark ruby appearance and a long, silky mouthfeel. There is a lot of dark fruit at the core with spice and tilled earth. Thanks to aging in oak botte, there is a touch of wood tannin that gives extra support to the well-defined structure that defines this classic vintage. About 1,000 of these bottles were released. The Ravera cru extends to both the municipalities of Novello and Barolo.

Barolo

Barolo, the "King of Wines," is a prestigious red from Piedmont, Italy, made exclusively from Nebbiolo grapes. Known for deep complexity, Barolo offers rich flavours of dark cherries, roses, truffles, and spices, with high acidity and firm tannins. It ages exceptionally well, evolving in depth and nuance. Barolo's diverse terroirs create a range of styles, from powerful to delicate. Top producers include Gaja, Bruno Giacosa, Giuseppe Rinaldi, and Marchesi di Barolo, all of whom exemplify Barolo's tradition and quality.
