Giribaldi Ravera 2018 Barolo

This is an organic Barolo DOCG from Azienda Agricola Mario Giribaldi, made from Nebbiolo grown in the Novello vineyards at 350 to 400 metres. The soils are marl and clay, and the fruit comes from the Ravera and Cerviano Merli crus. Vinification is traditional, with a 20-day maceration at controlled temperature. The wine rests four months in stainless steel, then spends two years in French oak before time in bottle. It is intense ruby with orange reflections. The nose offers red fruit, strawberry, cherry and dark forest fruits with a little white pepper. On the palate it is dry and warm, with vanilla, red fruit, light spice and soft tannins.
