"Ravera is one of the highest sites in Barolo, particularly in the village of Novello. This 2019 seems to be struggling to find its proper maturity - the nose is mostly fruity, with ripe cherries, but the palate is austere and severe despite good ripe tannins on the finish. It will gain complexity with time." DECANTER
"Pretty fruit with subtlety and verve. Flowers and hibiscus tea with orange peel and berries. Medium body. Fine tannins and a fresh finish." JAMES SUCKLING
"Bright ruby garnet. In the nose of juicy raspberries, oranges, wet stone, reminiscent of black tea, in the reverberation fine notes of undergrowth. On the palate savoury, polished and tightly meshed, showing radiant fruit in the mid-palate, elegant and profound, finishing with great Nebbiolo finesse." FALSTAFF
"There is plenty of latent fruit in the form of cherry, raspberry and plum, as well as floral, tar, mineral and undergrowth aromas in this graceful and complex red wine that is rich, balanced and long, with well-integrated tannins that blend with the ripe fruit notes." WINE SPECTATOR
"The 2019 Barolo Ravera smells of red fruits, mint, chalk, white pepper and orange peel. A Barolo full of excitement and energy, the 2019 is intensely bright and salty to the core. I wouldn't dream of touching a bottle anytime soon. This is a particularly tight style, even for Vajra." VINOUS
"The organic G.D. Vajra 2019 Barolo Ravera (with fruit from the most sought-after cru in the village of Novello) shows beautiful tonality and colour. The wine glows brightly with dark ruby and garnet gemstone. Healthy Nebbiolo colours like this can be admired throughout the 2019 vintage. Ravera is an amalgamation of different geologies from Barolo and Castiglione Falletto. The site has shown exceptional versatility, especially in the face of climate change, to produce wines of power and elegance. It is soft in texture but also strong in fibre, with silky sensations followed by dark fruit and concentration. Ravera has a character all its own, and the operative word here is power."
