The 2021 Paolo Scavino Barolo “Ravera” DOCG is a powerful and terroir-driven Nebbiolo from the prestigious Ravera cru in Novello, an area renowned for producing structured and long-lived Barolos. Crafted from 100% Nebbiolo, the 2021 vintage is highly acclaimed for its balance, energy and ageing potential, combining intensity with precision. The nose is complex and expressive, revealing red cherry, wild berries and dried rose, layered with notes of liquorice, spice, crushed stone and subtle balsamic herbs.
On the palate, it is full-bodied with dense, fine-grained tannins and vibrant acidity, delivering concentrated red fruit, mineral depth and a tightly structured profile. The finish is long, firm and persistent, with impressive tension and classic Ravera minerality.
Ben’s Recommendation:
At Wine More Cellars, this is a top-tier cru Barolo for serious collectors and Nebbiolo enthusiasts who appreciate structure, minerality and longevity. Best enjoyed with extended decanting or cellared for 15–20+ years. Perfect with braised meats, game, truffle dishes or aged cheeses.
