      Ravera is widely regarded as the most important single vineyard in the Comune di Novello, and one of the most geologically complex sites in all of Barolo. G.D. Vajra's parcels occupy the southern amphitheatre of this celebrated cru, between 300 and 380 metres above sea level, on a subsoil where Tortonian marls intermix with Serravallian sandstones and iron-rich clay layers. It is this complexity beneath the surface that gives Ravera its defining character: deep, textured and savoury, with a mineral intensity that no amount of winemaking can manufacture.

      The 2020 vintage brought warmth and structural generosity across Piedmont. At Ravera, the combination of concentrated fruit and the vineyard's naturally firm tannin architecture produced a wine of considerable depth and definition. Vinification followed the estate's traditional approach: extended maceration under a submerged cap, spontaneous malolactic conversion, and 22 months of maturation in large Slavonian oak casks before bottling.

      G.D. Vajra Barolo Ravera 2020

      The G.D. Vajra 2020 Barolo Ravera reveals wild forest berry, cherry, licorice root and sweet summer fruit. The effect is focused or chiseled thanks to animating acidity and pinpoint fruit flavors… This is a Barolo for the purists.

      — Monica Larner, Wine Advocate, 96 Points

      Bright ruby-colored, the 2020 Barolo Ravera is fresh and fruity with notes of cherry candies, lilacs, darker spice and sweet sage… Medium-bodied on the palate, it takes on more depth and richness, with a velvety, iron-rich texture.

      — Jeb Dunnuck, 96 Points

      Blood orange, savory plum and clove characters with a touch of haw fruit and white pepper. Close-knit, chalky tannins on the palate with a structured full body and a zesty, tense finish. Long, complex, austere and expansive.

      G.D. Vajra

      G.D. Vajra is one of Barolo’s most respected family-run estates, founded in 1972 by Aldo Vaira in the village of Vergne, the highest commune in the appellation. What began as a reluctant summer on the family farm turned into Aldo’s lifelong vocation, and by 1971 he had adopted organic farming — a first for Barolo at the time. Over the decades, the estate has grown to around 80 hectares, producing Nebbiolo, Barbera, Dolcetto, and rare plantings such as Riesling, all farmed with the same attention to detail. Today, Aldo and his wife Milena work alongside their children, Giuseppe, Francesca, and Isidoro, blending tradition, resilience, and quiet innovation into every vintage.

      Tasting notes

      NOSE
      Noble and layered

      Dark cherry, blood orange and iron-tinged earth open the bouquet, followed by purple flowers, tobacco, cedar and a thread of liquorice. The Ravera hallmark of depth and almost sanguine complexity is fully present.

      PALATE
      Powerful and textured

      Broad, finely structured tannins carry juicy dark fruit with real intensity. Sweet spice and aromatic herbs bring energy, while the vineyard's characteristic saline mineral note runs through the mid-palate with quiet persistence.

      FINISH
      Long, savoury and enduring

      A wine that stays with you, finishing with earthy depth and the unmistakable character of one of Barolo's finest single vineyards.
