Paolo Scavino Ravera Barolo DOCG

$154.00

Have you ever tasted a Barolo from Novello commune? We doubt you have even once! Being from one of the smallest, and most secretive Barolo towns, this wine gives you the opportunity to understand the Barolo appellation even further.

Ravera by Scavino is famous for its red cherries scents, balsamic hints and almost minty aromas. It’s fresh with high acidity and beautiful tannin tension with a harmonious structure and finesse.

I love to have the opportunity to share an outstanding wine from this almost hidden town of the Barolo appellation. Ravera by Scavino is located in Novello at 430 metres above sea level, with a soil composed of Sant’Agata Marl that is crucial to give definition and strength to this wine.
