The 2019 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 2019 vintage is highly regarded for its balance, energy and precision, combining concentration with elegance.The nose is intense and aromatic, revealing red cherry, dried cherry and rose petals, layered with notes of violet, spice, tobacco, balsamic herbs and subtle mineral complexity.
On the palate, it is full-bodied with dense, fine-grained tannins and vibrant acidity, delivering concentrated red fruit, savoury depth and a structured, mineral-driven profile. The finish is long, firm 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 long-term cellaring potential. It will benefit from extended decanting if opened young or can be cellared for 12–20 years. Perfect with braised meats, game, truffle dishes or aged cheeses.
