The 2020 Paolo Scavino Barolo “Ravera” DOCG is a powerful and finely structured single-vineyard Nebbiolo from the prestigious Ravera cru in Novello, known for producing Barolos with depth, minerality and long ageing potential. Crafted from 100% Nebbiolo, the 2020 vintage highlights precision, freshness and balance, combining intensity with elegance. The nose is complex and lifted, revealing red cherry, raspberry and rosehip, layered with notes of violet, spice, tobacco, balsamic herbs and mineral nuances.
On the palate, it is medium to full-bodied with fine, tightly woven tannins and vibrant acidity, delivering concentrated red fruit, savoury depth and a distinctive mineral-driven profile. The finish is long, structured and persistent, with impressive tension and ageing potential typical of the Ravera site.
Ben’s Recommendation:
At Wine More Cellars, this is a standout cru Barolo for those who appreciate structure, minerality and precision. It benefits from decanting if opened young or can be cellared for 12–18+ years. Perfect with braised meats, game, truffle dishes or aged cheeses.
