The Barolo Riserva Ravera di Cascina Lo Zoccolaio is produced with grapes from the most important crus of Novello; the plants have an average age of 30 years, are exposed to the south-east on marly-calcareous soils, at a good altitude of 380-400 meters above sea level. After the October harvest, strictly done by hand as tradition dictates, the grapes are destemmed, softly pressed, and fermented in stainless steel tanks at controlled temperature. After malolactic fermentation, the wine matures in large Slavonian oak barrels (2500 liters) for 42 months and further refines in the bottle for 6 months before being sold.
