The 2020 Barolo Ravera di Monforte offers a captivating mélange of all the best qualities that make these some of the most exciting wines in Barolo. Bright mineral notes and beams of tannin support a core of red-toned fruit, sage, mint, chalk, dried flowers and rose petal. The interplay of intense flavors and vibrant energy makes for a captivating, deeply intriguing Barolo that will only need a few years to be at its most expressive.

“Benevelli fans will find much to admire in the 2020 Barolos. Specifically, the wines offer all the power and intensity readers have come to expect but with less tannic heft than in most years. The 2020s exude plenty of classicism and Monforte muscle but also come across as needing a bit less time in bottle before drinking than the most structured vintages. I imagine a few years in the cellar will do the trick. Massimo Benevelli remains one of the most promising young growers in Barolo.”
