Wild berry dog rose violet hay menthol and spice aromas waft out of the glass on the incredibly fragrant and gorgeous 2021 Ravera from G.D. Vajra. Full-bodied and succulent the delicious palate delivers raspberry compote strawberry baking spice and star anise alongside tightly woven fine-grained tannins. Bright acidity keeps it youthfully tense and balanced.

The 2021 Barolo Ravera is laced with bright red-toned fruit iron spice cedar tobacco and dried herbs. Bright acids and beams of tannin give the Ravera its distinctively driving feel. Today the 2021 is a bit sinewy. I suspect it will always remain a vibrant steely Barolo. The Ravera is a fine choice for readers who appreciate the more savory mineral side of Barolo. -
Wine Advocate: 97+ Points
From one of the most sought-after crus sites today the G.D. Vajra 2021 Barolo Ravera opens to a vibrant ruby color. The wine takes its time opening especially when tasted young but that delay bodes well for its future bottle evolution. This wine is built like a wall with each brick representing its own distinct character. There is dark fruit pressed flower herb ebony and a very elegant mineral side. The bouquet is direct and vertical with lifted intensity over a medium-plus palate. The tannins are elegantly managed and this wine has the latitude for long cellar aging. It ferments in stainless steel and ages in large oak casks.
