The 2018 Paolo Scavino Barolo “Ravera” DOCG is a structured and elegant single-vineyard Nebbiolo from the renowned Ravera cru in Novello, known for producing Barolos with intensity, minerality and ageing potential. Crafted from 100% Nebbiolo, the 2018 vintage reflects a cooler growing season, favouring finesse, freshness and aromatic complexity over power.The nose is lifted and complex, revealing red cherry, raspberry and rosehip, layered with notes of white pepper, tobacco, balsamic herbs and subtle mineral tones.
On the palate, it is medium to full-bodied with vibrant acidity and fine, structured tannins, delivering bright red fruit, savoury depth and a distinctive saline, mineral edge. The finish is long, fresh and precise, with excellent tension and elegance typical of the Ravera site.
Ben’s Recommendation:
At Wine More Cellars, this is a refined and terroir-driven Barolo that leans towards elegance rather than power. Ideal for those who appreciate freshness, minerality and structure. Enjoy with decanting or cellar for 10–15 years. Perfect with braised meats, truffle dishes or aged cheeses.
