Paolo Scavino Barolo Ravera 2021
DOZEN: $2,652.00 or $221.00 each
Paolo Scavino has knocked the 2021 Barolo vintage out of the park and the firm's Ravera is another impressive showing. It opens with alluring aromas of ripe dark-skinned fruit, iris, menthol and star anise while the delicious, full-bodied palate delivers succulent Marasca cherry, raspberry tart, licorice, cinnamon and crushed mint. Tightly woven, velvety tannins provide seamless support while fresh acidity keeps it vibrant and together they give the wine a weightless concentration despite that belies its impressive structure.

The 2021 Barolo Ravera is captures all the signatures of this site. Iron, white pepper, sage, mint, chalk and red-toned fruit all grace this sculpted, vibrant young Barolo. I especialy admire its energy and tension. Clean mineral notes support the bracing finish. Readers should plan on cellaring the 2021 for at least a few years.(95) ANTONIO GALLONI, Vinous
A very floral wine with aromas of fresh roses, cherry stones, licorice and smoke. Very fresh on the palate, almost zesty, with a medium to full body, tight yet ripe tannins and an aftertaste of licorice and tobacco. (95) ALDO FIORDELLI, Jamessuckling.com
