This 2015 Barolo Ravera Vigna Elena Riserva, crafted from 100% Nebbiolo, presents an intricate bouquet of aromas. On the nose, expect intense notes of dried red cherries, plums, and raspberries, interwoven with classic Nebbiolo hallmarks like tar, licorice, and rose petals. As it opens, hints of dried herbs, tobacco, and earthy undertones may emerge, characteristic of the Ravera cru and extended aging. The palate is full-bodied and powerful, with a vibrant acidity that balances the firm, persistent tannins. Flavors echo the aromatics, offering concentrated red fruit, savory spice, and a mineral edge leading to a very long, complex finish that evolves with each sip.
