The Barolo DOCG Ravera 2016 by Piero Benevelli is a wine that truly pays homage to the winemaking tradition of the Langhe, an area renowned for producing some of Italy’s most prestigious wines. Coming from the Ravera cru, this label is the result of a meticulous selection of Nebbiolo grapes, hand-harvested from optimally exposed vineyards that are managed with care and passion.
In appearance, it presents a vibrant garnet red color, reflecting its powerful character and complexity. On the nose, the bouquet is a sensory journey: notes of ripe cherry and plum emerge, accompanied by an elegant hint of sweet spices and a backdrop of wilted roses. With aeration, earthy and mineral scents reveal themselves, adding depth and vitality to the aromatic profile.
On the palate, the Barolo Ravera 2016 proves to be full-bodied, with well-balanced tannins and a freshness that captivates the attention. Its robust structure allows for long aging, but it is also perfectly enjoyable in its early years. Flavors of red fruit intertwine with nuances of tobacco and dark chocolate, offering a long and persistent finish, enriched by a subtle animal note.
This wine is the ideal companion for meat dishes, such as braised beef in Barolo, but it also pairs beautifully with aged cheeses and game. Every sip invites you to pause and savor the beauty of nature and the art of winemaking, making the Barolo 2016 Ravera an experience not to be missed for wine lovers.
