The 2019 Cascina Nuova presents Barolo through a lens of clarity and youthful precision. The nose is immediately expressive, full of red cherry, rose petal, and pomegranate, threaded with hints of anise, crushed herbs, and a fine mineral dust that feels distinctly Ravera. There’s a brightness to the aromatics — not superficial, but finely tuned — suggesting both approachability and depth.
On the palate, the wine is vibrant and finely contoured, its fruit carried by crisp, energetic acidity. The tannins are classic Nebbiolo: firm yet beautifully shaped, giving the wine structure without austerity. Flavours of sour cherry, orange peel, and subtle spice unfold with a clean, linear progression, each element clearly defined. What lingers is a sense of lifted elegance — that quiet Ravera tension between purity and grip.
The finish is long, refreshing, and mineral, a gentle reminder of the limestone-rich soils beneath. A graceful, precise expression of Barolo that speaks clearly even in youth, while hinting at the deeper tones that patience will reveal.
