Tasting Notes

Vietti Ravera Barolo 2014 epitomizes the elegance and complexity of one of Italy's most revered wine regions. Crafted from Nebbiolo grapes in the renowned Barolo zone, this vintage represents a remarkable expression of the unique terroir with a history rooted in the long-standing Novello commitment to quality and tradition.

The 2014 vintage is celebrated for its balance and clarity, delivering an exquisite profile that combines rich aromas with a structured palate. This Barolo exudes intense notes of ripe cherry, rose petals, and subtle hints of licorice and earth, framed by refined tannins and a lingering finish. The wine’s finesse and depth reflect both the meticulous vineyard management and the expert vinification by Vietti, a producer synonymous with premium Barolo wines.

This particular bottle was sourced from a premium private cellar, ensuring exceptional provenance and ideal storage conditions. Accolades for the Vietti Ravera Barolo 2014 include an outstanding 97-point rating from Antonio Galloni, a testament to its superior quality and aging potential.

Originating from the Ravera cru, acclaimed for its limestone-rich soils and optimal sun exposure, this Barolo showcases the hallmark precision and aromatic intensity that collectors and connoisseurs seek. The 2014 season offered ideal climate conditions, enhancing the grapes’ complexity and vibrant acidity, resulting in a wine that is both powerful and poised.

Perfect for pairing with rich dishes such as truffle risotto, braised meats, or aged cheeses, the Vietti Ravera Barolo 2014 is a refined choice for those who appreciate classic Italian craftsmanship and distinguished character in every glass.

Critic Scores

Another highlight in this range, the 2014 Barolo Ravera opens with the most exquisite, captivating aromatics imaginable. It will be interesting to see if it develops a bit more midpalate depth and pliancy. Today, the 2014 is a bit austere, even within the context of the year and this site, where the wines are a bit on the nervous side to start. I have seen Vietti Raveras blossom into spectacular wines and imagine that will be the case here as well. Readers should not plan on opening a bottle anytime soon.

To my palate, the Ravera cru is one of the most immediately recognizable in the entire Barolo appellation. It gives off robust aromas of cherry liqueur and bitter chocolate. Those are two of the beautifully polished characteristics you get with the 2014 Barolo Ravera. But there is a lot more complexity to behold in this wine. Subtle notes of balsam herb, crushed mineral and rusty iron also appear. This next descriptor might seem awkward to a non-Italian readership, but you might even detect a hint of perfumed anchovy. It's all good and all beautiful.

Cherry, raspberry, rose, anise and tobacco aromas and flavors are the hallmarks of this rich red. The core of fruit is well-supported by dense, refined tannins and vibrant acidity. Shows excellent balance and length. Seemingly built to age.

Licorice, nuts and chocolate dominate the rich bouquet of this sophisticated Barolo. The dense and velvety tannins give the long finish tremendous power! Better from 2020.
