Just Landed: Barolo 2019 and Barbaresco 2020

Our Piemonte producers were out in force recently to showcase their latest releases – headlined by the Barolo 2019s and Barbaresco 2020s –at our dedicated London tasting.

2019 in Barolo was a long growing season. The winter was dry though some early snowfall helped to restore depleted water reserves. While budbreak timing varied for Nebbiolo (the first variety to bud), flowering was generally late – after a dry start to spring, a little rain fell before flowering. High temperatures in June and July were moderated by occasional rain showers. A hailstorm in early September threatened to be damaging, but thankfully the impact was limited. Ripening was slow – sufficient water reserves plus warm days and cool nights in September and October ensured ideal phenolic ripeness. Harvest was later than in recent vintages, with Massolino, for example, starting the Nebbiolo harvest on 10th October and finishing on the 20th. The resulting wines are already displaying great elegance and complexity with the hallmarks of a classic vintage. They have lovely aromatics, medium weight and a vibrant acidity. The 2019s are the first of what promises to be a rare series of four very fine vintages in the Langhe.

Barolo 2019s are available now from Corino, GD Vajra, Luigi Baudana, Massolino and Domenico Clerico, as well as Barbaresco 2020s from Bruno Rocca and Massolino
