The 2019 vintage from Piedmont is a banger – these are great wines with long futures. After Barolo tastings in Cape Town and Jo’burg, we’re delighted to share the 2019 Barolos with you. Today we focus on the entry-level and classico Barolos from our favourite producers. This is where the smart money lies.
Amongst a plethora of brilliant wines, the Marengo Barolo 2019 from La Morra ‘has the depth and complexity of the best '19s’, says Wine Spectator. And from rockstar Giula Negri, we offer the fine-boned Barolo Tartufaia 2019 – ‘an exceptional expression of Negri's winemaking prowess’ (Wine Enthusiast).
‘The 2019s are certainly the best young Barolos I've tasted since the 2016s, and if you are a fan of the wines, it's wise to buy your favourites early.’ – Wine Spectator
Can you get more classic than Pio Cesare? In production since 1881, they’ve done a terrific job with their elegant Barolo Pio 2019. Hidden gem Luigi Baudana’s Barolo Serralunga 2019 is rich yet refined and ‘hits all the right notes’. Finally, from the Barolo village itself comes GD Vajra’s Barolo Albe 2019 – ‘one of the most popular and versatile wines made in Italy, and deservedly so’ (Wine Advocate).
The impressive 2019 vintage has been praised for being supremely classical in its styling. View the full range of classicos and crus from this legendary year.
