The 2012 Barolo Cascina Nuova is a good wine, but is slightly compromised by the adverse vintage conditions. For this reason, I am suggesting a shorter drinking window. There is power and voice in the bouquet, but the assembly is not as precise in this warm vintage. Bold cherry, spice and leather are presented in one bold front. A few years of bottle aging should help consolidate this wine.

Though elegant, this red shows textbook rose, cherry and tar flavors, with well-integrated tannins offering support. Bright and juicy, presenting a lingering finish. Best from 2019 through 2033. 1,667 cases made, 450 cases imported.??–BS??Region: Italy / Piedmont / Barolo Select to Add
