A great value "overachiever" from the experts in Barolo. On this beautiful vineyard near the winery, the team at Cogno are able to attain wonderful fruit ripeness and aroma along with a palate that is flush with beautiful polished tannins. From younger vines, this is a proper food Barolo but also an accessible introduction to the Barolo style. Cellar or decant this total charmer.
96/100 Kerin O'Keefe (2021 Vintage)
"Showing impressive depth for what is the estate’s entry level Barolo, the 2021 Cascina Nuova is a fantastic wine. It opens with alluring aromas of wild rose, forest berry, sun-warmed hay and dark spice that on the full-bodied, enveloping palate transform into succulent Marasca cherry, raspberry and star anise. Taut, refined tannins and fresh acidity provide balance."
96/100 Jacobo Garcia-Andrade Llamas, JamesSuckling.com (2021 Vintage)
"This Barolo shows lavender, dried cranberries, licorice and a touch of tile on the nose. The palate is medium- to full-bodied and balanced, with lovely, succulent fruit complemented by incisive acidity. The tannins are fine grained yet chewy, but they gradually resolve toward the bright finish. Better from 2026."
17.5/20 Walter Speller, JancisRobinson.com (2021 Vintage)
"Just mid ruby. Beautiful nose that oscillates between savoury minerality and fragrant, sweet raspberry. Fluid raspberry fruit and completely dry. Long, firm tannins remain perfectly underneath the fruit. Could do with another year in bottle. Possibly one of the best buys of the vintage."
94/100 Steve Blandford, The Real Review, March 2025 (2021 Vintage)
"Bright ruby. It has an attractive nose of strawberry and red currants with delightful floral lift, a gentle dusting of cinnamon spice and dried herb providing a layer of complexity. There is freshness and purity on the palate, medium-bodied but with a lightness of touch, berry succulence draped in velvety tannin, a little pepperiness on a finish that lingers in a lovely way. A wine packed with charm and seductive appeal, ready to drink now or over the next 10 years."
