This Barolo Ravera from G.D. Vajra, vintage 2018, is expected to present a complex and evolving aromatic profile. On the nose, look for classic Nebbiolo notes of dried rose petals, cherry, tar, and licorice, often accompanied by mineral nuances and hints of forest floor, and possibly subtle spice from oak aging. The palate will be full-bodied with a powerful structure, characterized by high acidity and firm yet refined tannins. Flavors of red fruit (raspberry, sour cherry), plum, and earthy undertones will dominate, leading to a very long and persistent finish. The 2018 vintage generally offers a good balance of fruit and structure, making it approachable in youth but rewarding with age.
