WINE ENTHUSIAST 97 POINTS - "This beautiful, luminously hued Barolo opens with enticing scents of perfumed berry, dark spice, eucalyptus, violet and forest floor. The savory palate combines elegance and structure, delivering juicy red cherry, raspberry compote, star anise and wild mint framed in taut, refined tannins that give it a smooth but firm texture. Bright acidity keeps energized. What a stunner. Drink 2024–2038."
WINE & SPIRITS 95 POINTS - "Valter Fissore’s Ravera is typically reticent in youth, but this wine from the 2018 vintage shows an early exuberance in its red-cherry and raspberry flavors heightened by scents of rose petals and balsamic herbs. The tannins, while taut, are a bit softer and rounder in this vintage. Since 2017, Fissore has been including some stems in his Barolo fermentation's—about 20 to 30 percent in this wine—which enhances the freshness and adds some complex spice notes to the finish."
