Wine Expert Review: Barolo Cascina Nuova shows that even the
youngest vineyards can produce an excellent Barolo, albeit easily accessible,
more immediate and of wide appeal. Aimed at a broader public that wants to get
to know the wine gradually before moving on to more complex examples, it might
even be defined as a lesson in Barolo. A point of departure for the wine
drinking experience, it also ensures excellent value for money. True to the
history of great wine and Langhe tradition, Valter and Nadia see Barolo as a
select assemblage of grapes from the best vineyards, carefully drawing out the
best each has to offer. This is a wine that manages to reflect all the
character of a major terroir.
My Review: I found this to be an extremely full bodied wine.
It had a strong nose as soon as I opened the bottle. I got strong herbal smell
along with wood. On a second smell I also got a slightly smoky smell and some
slight potpourri. The wine had a very strong tannin profile with some
surprising sweetness. I did not smell it so I was pleasantly surprised to get a
nice cherry flavor. Very good wine. I would like to have this wine again in the
future.
I did not taste this wine with food.
