2019 | Rocca Giovanni | Ravera di Monforte Barolo

A classic expression of the Piedmont’s noble Nebbiolo grape. It is fragrant, medium-bodied, garnet colored, and full of cherry and raspberry flavors. It shows complex layers of cinnamon and field herbs, that lead to a long and harmonious finish.

Reviews:

• Wine Spectator: Showing expressive cherry and strawberry flavors, this red features a lacy texture, firm tannins and licorice and spice notes. Reveals density and tension on the lingering, mineral-tinged finish.

• James Suckling: Tarry and mineral nose with red berries and stones that continue onto the textured, medium- to full-bodied palate. Very tight and powerful tannins deliver a fine, mineral grip to the citrus and berry fruit. Long, ethereal and intriguingly savory finish.
