98+ points Luca Gardini: "Another strike for the Cogno’s masterpiece from old vineyards. Fresh and mentholated at the nose, as usual, with fruits of undergrowth, blueberry, fresh laurel and a touch of blood orange. Taut and crispy mouthfeel, with spicy tannins and a balsamic trace returning at the end. (Mar 2021)"

98 points Wine Enthusiast: "Made by the estate that put this celebrated cru on the map, and showing an enviable combination of elegance and power, this stunning wine opens with aromas of wild berries, underbrush, dark spice and balsamic notes of cedar and new leather. The tense, savory palate is loaded with youthful energy, showing succulent Marasca cherry, raspberry, cinnamon and star anise framed in tightly knit, refined tannins and surprisingly bright acidity for the vintage. A mineral note suggesting iron adds depth to the close. Alcohol 14.5%. (Jul 2021)"

97 points Jeb Dunnuck: "The 2017 Barolo Ravera makes a statement with its intense aromas of licorice, kirsch, pipe tobacco, and spice. Revealing a balanced and chiseled structure, the palate conveys dried raspberry, blood orange, and dried herbs. A great wine from the 2017 vintage, it feels like it will hold up to the test of time. Drink 2024-2042. (5/27/21)"

96 points Wine & Spirits: "In the hot and dry growing season of 2017, Ravera's cool position and exposure to winds from the Alps were a real advantage. The wine is brimming with fresh floral scents, its crunchy red- and black-cherry flavors laced with cool menthol and licorice notes. This vintage also marks the first time that Valter Fissore fermented his Ravera fruit on the stems, about 50 percent in this case, a practice that has added an extra level of brightness and aromatic complexity to the wine. (Dec 2021)"

94 points Monica Larner (Wine Advocate): "[$115 list] The Ravera cru is seeing renewed energy and interest, thanks to the hard work of the Elvio Cogno team. They believed in Novello from the very beginning, and today a wine like the 2017 Barolo Ravera shows special confidence and pride. This pretty Barolo made with a blend of Nebbiolo clones (Lampia and Michet) reveals a slow succession of aromas with dark cherry and blackberry. The results are lasting, contoured and beautifully focused, thanks to mineral notes of rusty iron or brick. Nuanced notes of licorice and campfire ash round off the finish. Production is 13,000 bottles. Drink: 2024-2040. (Jun 2021)"
