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!

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.

"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."
