Paolo Scavino Barolo Ravera 2018

A refined Barolo from the Ravera cru with woodland berries, tart cherry, blue flowers, wild mint, white pepper, and earthy mineral notes. Focused and linear, it combines vivid acidity with fine-grained tannins, elegant fruit, and a long, savory finish.

Food Pairing: Pair with braised beef, truffle pasta, roasted lamb, wild game, mushroom risotto, osso buco, or aged Piedmontese cheeses.

Woodland berry, blue flower and wild mint aromas fill the glass on this fragrant red along with whiffs of dark spice. Focused and linear, the vibrant palate delivers juicy pomegranate, spiced cranberry, star anise and menthol alongside tightly wound, fine-grained tannins. Bright acidity keeps it balanced. Drink 2026–2038. Kerin O’Keefe

93 Points - Wine Spectator

A racy red denoted by tart cherry, currant, menthol and wild herb flavors, with a vibrant structure driving the flavors. Lingering finish, where an underlying mineral element emerges. Features fine intensity and length. Best from 2026 through 2042. 500 cases made, 100 cases imported.

93 Points - James Suckling

Compact and really focused, with red berries, dried porcini and brighter floral notes. Medium-bodied with a relatively light but firm tannin framework. The flavors remain enticing and fresh. The lighter overall structure reflects the vintage, but there’s room for expansion here, given time. Try from 2024.
