Vietti Barolo Ravera 2020

99 points Luca Gardini: "Coming from a unique plot with plants of about 30 years and calcareousclay soils, a wine of structure and tension, a nose of red mulberry, with hints of licorice powder and lavender. The mouthfeel is savory, recalls of nuances of red fruit, with officinal touches. The finish has a floral hint. (Apr 2024)"

97 points Audrey Frick (JebDunnuck.com): "Coming from the hill of La Morra (the fresher corner of the Barolo region), the nose of the 2020 Barolo Ravera boasts a lovely complete bouquet of licorice, rose petal, and fresh cherries, with a bright lift. Raised only in large cask, this medium-bodied Barolo is refined on the palate, with fine tannins, a silky mouthfeel, and a balanced and harmonious feel. It offers a Burgundian aesthetic and a long, graceful finish. Drink 2025-2045. (May 2024)"

96 points James Suckling: "Perfumed, composed and agile with notes of cherries, wild strawberries, white pepper, frozen raspberries, dried flowers and some stones. Full-bodied with fine, chalky tannins and crisp acidity. Bright and vertical with controlled power throughout. Textural and subtle. Great tension and energy on the mid-palate and onto the long, focused finish. From organically grown grapes. Vegan. Try after 2030. (Jan 2024)"

95 points Monica Larner (Wine Advocate): "The Vietti 2020 Barolo Ravera offers dark fruit, cherry and blackcurrant enhanced by soft spice. You also get a sun-kissed note of eggplant, tomato leaf and ferrous earth. Ravera displays strong lines with good acidity and firm tannic backbone. It closes dry and ages in large oak botte only. This is one of the most eyeballed MGAs sites. Ravera, with its open mountain skyline and cool temperatures, is seen as one of the best sites in the appellation, especially as the climate changes. This vintage produced exactly 10,026 bottles. Drink 2026-2045 (Apr 2024)"

94 points Wine Enthusiast: "The nose is immediately captivating, offering a blend of black macerated cherries and a unique crushed vitamin note, complemented by delicate baby roses and fresh green herbs. On the palate, the wine showcases a robust structure, with firm and chewy tannins that grip the tongue. As the wine opens, its true potential is revealed. Drink 2026 - 2045 (Jan 2024)"
