Cagliero Barolo Ravera DOCG 2014
Cagliero’s Ravera 2014 is a lovely example of how Barolo begins to open up without losing its backbone. A decade on, the wine is firmly in its drinking window, showing the savoury depth and detail that come with time, yet it still carries the structure to reward further patience. Stefano has always aimed to let Ravera’s naturally firm frame speak clearly, and here you see that balance between maturity and quiet energy — a Barolo that’s already giving plenty, but by no means in a hurry.
Taste
Now showing a gentle brick tint at the rim, the nose leans into dried rose, tea leaf, red cherry and a touch of truffle. On the palate, the tannins have softened into a fine, powdery grip, framing layers of sour cherry, balsamic notes and earthy spice. There’s a calm, savoury length that speaks to its age, yet the acidity and structure remain intact, suggesting it will continue to evolve gracefully for several more years.
About the Producer
Azienda Cagliero is based in the heart of the Barolo zone, with vineyards carefully tended on gently sloping hillsides, including the renowned Ravera and Terlo crus. The location gives the wines their signature structure, mineral clarity, and aromatic lift.
Winemaker Stefano Cagliero takes a thoughtful, hands-on approach in both vineyard and cellar. His philosophy is simple: intervene only where necessary, focus on the health and expression of the vines, and let each site speak for itself. The result is a portfolio of wines that combine precision, depth, and the ability to age gracefully, while still offering immediate pleasure.
