Barolo "Bricco Ravera"
Ravera is recognized as the most important single vineyard in the Comune di Novello. It grows on a very complex underground where marls of Tortonian origin mix with sandstones and clays of the Serravallian period. This generous Barolo soars out of the glass with aromas of red fruits, white pepper, blackberry pie, red candies, cedar and savory notes. Wild berries, black currant, crushed stone and a mineral sensation saturate the mid-palate. As with Vajra's other single cru wines, this has excellent aging potential.
G.D. Vajra
G.D. Vajra is a small, artisanal family estate that has risen to become one of the benchmark modern day producers in Piedmont. The estate is steeped in tradition: Barolos are macerated for 20 to 30 days, depending on the vintage, and matured in large neutral Slavonian casks. The holdings in Bricco delle Viole ‒ Barolo’s highest cru ‒ are the prized vineyards of the estate, planted in 1949. High elevation vineyards are a unique factor to Vajra wines, allowing them to express what has become the hallmark of the estate: finesse and remarkable complexity over simple power.
