The 2017 Paolo Scavino Barolo “Ravera” DOCG is a powerful and structured single-vineyard Nebbiolo from the renowned Ravera cru in Novello, known for producing Barolos with depth, intensity and ageing potential. Crafted from 100% Nebbiolo, the 2017 vintage reflects a warmer year while maintaining precision and balance, combining richness with firm structure. The nose is intense and complex, showing black cherry, blackberry and dried rose, layered with notes of spice, liquorice, tobacco, graphite and subtle balsamic nuances.
On the palate, it is full-bodied with dense, fine-grained tannins and vibrant acidity, delivering concentrated dark fruit, savoury depth and a powerful, structured profile. The finish is long, firm and persistent, with impressive depth and ageing potential typical of the Ravera cru.
Ben’s Recommendation:
At Wine More Cellars, this is a serious cru Barolo for collectors and Nebbiolo enthusiasts who appreciate power and structure. It benefits from extended decanting if opened young or can be cellared for 15–20+ years. Perfect with braised beef, game, truffle dishes or aged cheeses.
