The Vietti 2016 Barolo Ravera sees fruit from Novello in a site that faces the Novello castle up on the hill in the distance

and an overall elegant feel that belies its underlying concentration and density

The palate is medium-bodied with grippy dark plum and blackberry fruit laced with graphite and tobacco

It does exhibit a classic Sassicaia bouquet

sumptuous personality

Ornellaia other_regions The Vietti 2016 Barolo RaveraThis brilliant wine is one of the best new breed Tuscan reds I have tasted. The color is a sensational black purple and the nose offers gorgeously intense aromas of black plums, cassis, licorice, and spicy new oak. In the mouth, there is extraordinary opulence and richness, enough acidity to provide grip, and plenty of tannin lurking behind the cascade of fruit. The explosive finish goes on and on. Approachable, even delicious now, this splendid wine
