A brooding and backward nose is presently revealing little save for glimpses of red and blue berry fruit aromas though the rich

The Casa Matè has also closed down considerably since I last tasted it

but that does not necessarily mean that it is the first of the vineyards to be harvested

This wine should continue to offer gorgeous and good-value drinking for another decade

Elvio Cogno, Barolo Ravera other_regions A brooding and backward noseThe 2015 Barolo Ravera shows a deep concentration and dark fruit intensity. This warm vintage Barolo opens with a ripe and soft bouquet that brings out some nice cherry notes with creamy black fruit at the back. The finish is soft and luscious. There is so much fruity succulence here that the wine should stand up to a gamey dish of liver pt or pasta with wild boar.
