The Elvio Cogno 2019 Barolo Cascina Nuova is the most accessible of the many excellent Barolos made by this leading estate in the village of Novello. The fundamental value offered by this wine is even more irresistible in a classic vintage like 2019. The wine opens nicely in the glass, unfolding to redcurrant and wild berry. There are varietal tones of licorice, cola and camphor ash over a firm, mid-weight texture. Some 20,000 bottles were made.

Attractive primary aromas of crushed strawberry and stone follow through to a full body, with fine and polished tannins and a pretty, fresh finish. Vivid is a good word to use to describe this overall. Best after 2026.

Incredible aromatics of wild strawberry, anise, wild herbs, and roses emerge from the 2019 Barolo Cascina Nuova. Despite being more structured, it has a fresh, driven nature, with refreshing acidity and a clean mineral finish. This wine is from "young vines" that are now averaging 20 years old. Drink 2023-2040.

Balanced and harmonious, this red delivers cherry, raspberry, spice, mineral and chocolate flavors supported by a spine of refined tannins. Turns more focused on the long, mineral- and spice-tinged aftertaste. Best from 2026 through 2043.

The 2019 Barolo Cascina Nuova is bright, effusive and beautifully lifted, right out of the gate. Crushed flowers, dried herbs, sweet red cherry, cinnamon, spice and hard candy soar out of the glass. Bright and medium in body, with plenty of verve, the 2019 is an absolute delight. I very much like the energy here. Moreover, the incisive Ravera tannins are nicely handled.
