Note di degustazione
Good bright medium red. Pure red cherry, rose petal, camphor, menthol and spices on the classic Barolo nose. Round, ripe and full, with impressive medicinal reserve to the sweet flavors of red berries, flowers and spices. Finishes chewy and very long, youthfully medicinal but not hard, with a broad, firm dusting of tannins and lovely lift. From 40- and 50-year-old lampia and michet vines kept to a moderate crop level by two green harvests.

The 2007 Barolo Ravera shows marvelous depth and richness, but is not hugely different from the Cascina Nuova, perhaps because the vintage has such a strong influence in both wines. It is a big, muscular wine endowed with layers of dark fruit, mocha, leather, licorice and smoke. A large, scaled dramatic finish rounds out this compelling, totally delicious Barolo.

Anticipated maturity: 2015-2025. Walter Fissore and Nadia Cogno continue to do fabulous work. Cogno is one of the very finest estates in Piedmont, yet somehow remains under the radar. Every wine I tasted this year was brilliant, but the Baroli in particular are magnificent. The wines are made in a fairly traditional style, which means they need bottle age, even at the entry-level. Native yeasts, lengthy submerged-cap macerations, and a reliance on large, neutral oak casks for the top Baroli are the rule. Importer: Vias Imports, New York, NY; tel. (212) 629-0200
Novello. Deep ruby. Herbs and tea leaves becoming more savoury and with minerally notes too. Understated Nebbiolo palate but at the same time very complete. Only hints of dried fruit on the finish. Ripe but clinging tannin. Hedonistic, and for now. (WS)
