Barolo Ravera 2016 Sordo

Barolo - Ravera 2016

2016年が描く、ラヴェーラの骨格。

銘醸地として知られるノヴェッロ村の中でも、とりわけ美しい場所に位置する畑ラヴェーラ。ソルドがネッビオーロ100%で仕立てた2016年です。濃厚な色調に、干し草や秋の葉を思わせる緑の印象を帯びたブーケ。しっかりとした果実味へ、フレッシュな小さな果実やタバコ、甘いスパイスが重なります。酸とタンニンの均衡が見事で、熟成ポテンシャルは非常に高い一本。ローストした肉やジビエとともに、これから先の変化も。

Tasting note

Intense color. The bouquet has a green impression reminiscent of hay and autumn leaves. In addition to the firm fruitiness, there are nuances of fresh fruit, small fruit, tobacco and sweet spices. The structure is firm, and the acidity and tannins are very well balanced. As it ages, it becomes more mellow and gains harmony and freshness. This wine has great aging potential.

Food pairing

Roasted meats, game
