"The 2010 Barolo Ravera is one of the greatest wines I have ever tasted from Vietti. Stunning. It's as simple as that Freshly cut flowers mint spices crushed rocks and pine jump from the glass in a vivid crystalline wine endowed with captivating purity clarity and finesse. The 2010 takes hold of the palate and never lets up gaining body breadth and volume over time. A breathtaking perfumed finish rounds out the finish. The Ravera represents a bit of a stylistic departure for Vietti and a return to a more traditional style of winemaking. The 2010 was done entirely in cask with minimal racking. In its early years it was virtually impossible to taste as the reductive winemaking style gave a wine with closed aromatics and searing tannin. Today the 2010 is beginning to blossom into an epic Barolo. The 2010 Ravera may well be the single greatest Barolo Luca Currado has ever made. It is also a wine that along with the Barolos of Elvio Cogno show just how much potential the hills of Ravera have to offer. Readers who can find the 2010 Ravera should not hesitate. It is a legendary benchmark Barolo in the making. As an aside a bottle of the 1999 I tasted last year was extraordinary and it was made in the slightly more modern style that was typical at Vietti during that era. "
