Tasting note
Intense, fragrant Barolo, perfumed with dried flowers and a sprinkling of spice, followed by a mouthful of red fruit, almond and refreshing citrus.
In the press
97/100 - The 2020 Barolo Via Nuova takes on a more introspective and serious tone, with more concentration and dark berry notes of black raspberry and cherry as well as dark earth and menthol. It is fresh on the palate, with significantly more concentration from the vintage, with cherry, tea leaf, and turned soil. (I love how each vintage is so transparent as a lens into the different nature of any given year’s climate and conditions.) This is the most muscular of the wines. Hold this one and drink 2026-2046.
96/100 - Bright and complex nose showing excellent depth and complexity. Expect to find fresh strawberries, white pepper, stones, fine herbs, chalk and even a touch of mezcal. Broad and zesty on the palate with fine, chalky tannins driving it to a long and ample finish. From organically grown grapes. Drink or hold.
Vineyard
Via Nuova was the name of a small vineyard located near the town of Barolo. Its name derived from its proximity to the road (new in the last century) that connected Barolo to Novello. Today, only a path through the vineyards, accessible on foot, remains of that road.
Viticulture
Nebbiolo from clones of Michet, Lampia and Rosé grown on one of our estate vineyards, situated on the hill "Terlo" in Barolo.
Vinification
2 years of aging in French oak - both barriques and larger barrels - then 1 year in bottle.
Food Match
Red meat: wild game and birds, braised meats, marinaded rabbit; aged cheese; truffle plates. Optimal wine to meditate over.
