Cagliero Barolo Ravera DOCG 2017
92 Points - RV WineCritics - A great Barolo from the cru Ravera, close to the villages of Barolo and Novello, from the fantastic 2017 vintage. This Barolo from Cagliero is pure and authentic, beautiful structure with a bouquet of violets, ripe fruit (plums) and spices. Layered and round in the mouth and beautifully balanced, young but pleasant tannins on the tongue, resulting in an endless finish. Already very good today, this wine will age beautifully for years to come!
Wine Press Ratings
92 Points - Raffaele Vecchione - WinesCritic.com (2017 Vintage)
"Rich and spicy, it shows concentration in the notes of black plums, burnt sage, hot pebble, black pepper and camphor. Many orange blossoms in the background dominate the secondary scene. Full body, well-crafted round and smooth tannins and a solid and compact finish. Better from 2021."
Taste
Aromas of dark-skinned fruit, baking spice and cedar form the subtle nose. The full-bodied palate offers blackberry jam, mocha and tobacco alongside assertive tannins.
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.
