Tasting Notes

Amplified and spiced aromatics lift from the 2016 Barolo Ravera Bricco Pernice, with notes of tar, cinnamon, dried currant, and fresh sage. Flush with mid-palate fruit, it also has driving acidity and gripping structure, noted by plum skin, tea leaf, and burnt orange. Defined with persistence and angular structure, the 2016 is one to hold 3-5 years and drink 2024-2046. Drink between 2024-2046.

Aromas of dried roses, asphalt and orange peel follow through to a full body with a solid yet silky tannin texture to the clear, vivid fruit. Goes on for minutes. A subtle and very structured red. Drink after 2024.

Novello. Lustrous mid ruby. Harnessed opulence on the nose and loaded with minerally earthy notes. Multi-layered with fine gravelly tannins clinging to the supple long fruit. Still embryonic yet displaying lushness as well as intense fragrance without losing focus on the palate. Great potential. Drink between 2024-2038.
