Our members have noticed.
No other Barolo we’ve offered came close to touching its popularity, either in total sales or the scores of five-star reviews our members left. A repeat sell-out, it’s been our bestselling Barolo each of the last two years.
So the 2018 Casalcomignoli had some big shoes to fill—and it sauntered in without a care in the world and blew us away. The product of a small fourth-generation winery in one of our favorite drink-young Barolo vintages, this is a serious wine, so don’t let the price fool you.
Barolo is known for its all-consuming aromatics, and this one bursts with notes of cherries, rose petals, orange peel, and hints of anise that seem to slow down time. The palate shows off muscular fruit, plus the region’s famed grippy but finely detailed tannins. It all leads to a long finish that demands another sip.
This is Nebbiolo in all its modern glory, planted in the dramatic hills around Cuneo. The four brothers behind the wine—Giancarlo, Davide, Lorenzo, and Paolo—are constantly fusing traditional methods in the vineyard with modern techniques in the cellar, polishing the wine in large French oak tonneaux.
That touch, combined with a gentle maceration, makes for a bottle that’s delicious now, after a decant, and will start peaking in the next five years—there’s no need to let it sleep for two decades, as is the case with many of its peers.
