G.D. Vajra Barolo Ravera 2019

The organic G.D. Vajra 2019 Barolo Ravera (with fruit from the most sought-after cru in the village of Novello) reveals gorgeous tonality and color. The wine shines bright with dark ruby and garnet gemstone. Healthy Nebbiolo colors like this can be admired across the 2019 vintage. Ravera represents a union of different geologies from Barolo and Castiglione Falletto. The site has shown extraordinary versatility, especially in the face of climate change, to make wines of both strength and elegance. It is softly textured but also strong in fiber, with silky sensations followed by dark fruit and concentration. Ravera has a character all its own, and the operative word here is power. 97PTS Monica Larner, Wine Advocate

Intensely fragrant, G.D. Vajra’s stunning 2019 Ravera features aromas of violet, iris, red berry, baking spice and menthol. It’s luminous, elegantly structured and focused, offering sour cherry, raspberry, star anise and crushed mint alongside taut, refined tannins. 97PTS Kerin O'Keefe
