Short story

Barolo Ravera represents one of the most elegant and complex expressions of Viberti Giovanni's production. Coming from one of Barolo's most renowned crus, it is a deep, refined wine with a strong character.

The nose is distinguished by intense aromas of ripe red fruit, sweet spices, hints of camphor and mineral nuances. In the mouth it is broad, structured and vibrant, with dense tannins and a freshness that sustains its evolution over time.

It is a wine designed for important moments, capable of telling the story of its territory of origin with authenticity. Perfect paired with red meats, game, braised meats, truffle dishes and aged cheeses.

CLIMATIC TREND

Snow-rich winter and mild spring favored an excellent water supply and an early growing cycle. After rains in late May and early June, from July the weather became hot and dry, with highs of 40°C. Thanks to the accumulated water resources, the vines did not suffer stress, and ripening started about 10 days earlier than in 2014. Production was in the normal range and quality very good, thanks in part to careful canopy management to prevent sunburn from excessive sun exposure.

Organoleptic Characteristics

→ Color: garnet red
Scents: Ripe Plum, Clove, Undergrowth
Serving temperature: 18°C
Ability to evolve: 15+ years

Vinification

Grapes from the vineyard of the same name, are vinified with submerged cap, to encourage greater extraction particularly in the early days of fermentation. Depending on the vintage, the duration of maceration varies from 14 to 18 days. Malolactic fermentation takes place in unroasted oak vats Barolo Riserva Ravera denotes tannic power, ripe fruit and hints related to spices and tertiary notes.

Refinement

Subsequent aging continues in the same barrels for about 42-46 months. Bottling in season and subsequent bottle aging.

CLIMATIC TREND

Complex vintage, considered among the most difficult in recent years for vineyard management, but able to offer surprising results thanks to a positive end to the season.
The winter was mild, and spring came on gradually but early, with an advance in the vegetative cycle. However, already in the early stages, a strong heterogeneity in plant development was evident, due to the pronounced microclimatic differences between the different valleys.

The summer was characterized by a lot of rainfall, not so much in the number of rainy days as in the intensity of the events: there were concentrated and violent "water bombs" such as those of July 23 and 29, which affected very localized areas.

Moisture favored the development of fungal diseases and rot, making careful grape selection and thinning essential.
The dry and windy month of September allowed good final ripening of the grapes, rewarding the best exposed areas and the most attentive producers. Yields, lower than average, resulted in wines of good freshness, less concentrated but with elegance and finesse.

CLIMATIC TREND

A "vintage" harvest, which began about 15 days later than the average of the last decade and ended in early November. The spring was cold and rainy, particularly May, causing a delay in the growing cycle. Since mid-June, the weather has stabilized, with a favorable summer and an autumn characterized by large temperature ranges. Conditions that favored slow and complete ripening, resulting in elegant and long-lived wines with an enigmatic profile.
