GIAN LUCA COLOMBO - 'RAVERA' BAROLO DOCG
GIAN LUCA COLOMBO - 'RAVERA' BAROLO DOCG
Vinification: Maceration with submerged cap 30-55 days
Maturation: 100% in large Austrian Oak (neutral) for 18 months, then terra cotta clay tanks for 3-6 months – no filtration, no clarification.
A first for Gian - a single cru bottling! The Ravera 2021 comes from just one little parcel of 4 hectares. A 50 year old vineyard, with soils composed of sandy marls with exposures from east to west, facing the Alps to the south, typically bringing diurnal shifts with cold air currents during the night. Gian has farmed this site since 2019 and it made its first appearance in the blending of the 2020 Barolo and has become an integral part of the blend since.
Gian's philosophy of multi comune blending for his Barolo was challenged in 2021 and it was this special vineyard that gave poise to reason that if there was ever a time or moment to be captured in all its singular purity then this was it... and boy were we happy he did!
