BAROLO RAVERA

The vineyards devoted to Barolo Ravera, colored in green in the first image, are the oldest of those currently in production in the large amphitheater of Cascina Nuova and represent the core of the winery’s historic vineyards.

Although close to each other, the two plots dedicated to this Barolo are distinguished by their locations and exposures. The first, on the border with Vigna Elena, has a more protected position and full southern exposure, while the second, at the western end of the Cascina Nuova hill, enjoys a more open position and a southwestern exposure.

The soils are in both cases expressions of laminated Sant’Agata Fossili Marls.
