Cascina Nuova Barolo DOCG
Barolo Cascina Nuova proves that even the youngest vineyards can produce an excellent Barolo, albeit easily accessible, more immediate and of wide appeal. Created for a public that wants to get to know the wine gradually before moving onto more complex examples, it might even be defined as a benchmark among Barolo wines. This is a wine that manages to reflect all the character of a major terroir.
The vineyards for Barolo Cascina Nuova are spread over 3 hectares of land facing the homonymous farmhouse, the seat of the winery. The vineyards are planted with vines that are an average age of 21 years old at about 380 m above sea level, with south exposure.

Sweet blueberries, wild flowers, spring herbs and orange zests are some of the flavors that emerge. These aromas and flavors enrich a silky texture that creates an immediate and appealing Barolo, with sweet tannins, firm elegance and outstanding class.

"The 2021 Barolo Cascina Nuova is highly aromatic and expressive of anise, incense, blood orange, and cranberry. The palate is medium-bodied but with a well-defined, even feel as well as ripe tannins and ripe acidity. It offers exceptional aromatics and structure that are emblematic of the vintage, and it should only improve over the next two decades if stored in cool cellars. A mix of the two Nebbiolo clones (60% Lampia and 40% Michet), this was vinified with a long maceration and submerged cap for 40 days, followed by two years in barrels."
