The 2021 Barolo Ravera is a vivid, energetic expression of this high-elevation cru in Novello, known for producing some of Barolo’s most structured and long-lived wines. Vietti’s interpretation is precise and powerful, shaped by the cooler 2021 vintage, which preserved freshness and aromatic detail. On the nose, it reveals layers of red currant, wild strawberry, blood orange, rose petal, and crushed herbs, underpinned by graphite and subtle spice. The palate is taut and vertical, with firm, polished tannins and a driving mineral core that gives the wine tension and focus.

A wine for collectors, scholars of Nebbiolo, and lovers of terroir-driven Barolo at its most intellectual.

The estate is currently led by Elena Currado Vietti and her husband, winemaker Luca Currado, who have preserved the family’s traditional values while incorporating a deep sensitivity to vineyard biodiversity and modern precision in the cellar. Vietti’s portfolio is a reflection of exceptional terroirs across Barolo’s most prestigious villages, and its wines are known for their balance of power and finesse, their clarity of place, and their unwavering age-worthiness.
