94pts Robert Parker's Wine Advocate

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.

94pts Wine Enthusiast

This aromatic Barolo opens with wild red berries, fresh herbs and dried roses to create an aromatic lift that will captivate you. The palate delights with light-footed macerated raspberries dusted with spice leading to crushed chalk minerality and fine tannins. Drink 2025–2045

94pts James Suckling

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.

93pts Wine Spectator

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.

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.

93pts Decanter

From the estate's youngest vines in Barolo, around 15 years old, this blend of three different clones, vinified with 10% whole-bunch fruit and matured in Slavonian casks for 24 months, is aromatic and balsamic, with red berry and orange peel scents. Intense and vibrant, it offers a concentration of hedgerow berries with a floral, earthy touch. Balanced and elegant, there's a great energy to this wine.

Winemaker Notes

With a luminous garnet red color, the Barolo Cascina Nuova 2019 is the result of the vinification of the grapes coming from the youngest vines in MGA Ravera. Clear and representative, in this youthful phase it fully expresses hints of juicy red fruit, red-orange, and nectarine, alternating with spicy notes and balsamic hints. Of great softness and silkiness, thanks to well-integrated tannins and good freshness, it proves to find the right balance among complexity, intensity, and excellent drinkability.
