Critic Reviews:

Cogno's 2011 Barolo Cascina Nuova is bright, precise and crystalline to the core. Sweet red berries, tobacco, mint, pine and anise all jump from the glass. This is one of the more brilliant Barolos of the vintage, but then again, that is what Ravera is all about. Insistent veins of minerality support the chiseled finish. Drink: 2016-2031.

Extremely fresh and pure, this red exhibits rose, strawberry and cherry flavors, with accents of licorice and leather. Balanced and elegant, revealing a long, resonant aftertaste of sticks and stones. Beautiful harmony. Bruce Sanderson (Wine Spectator, 12/2015) 94

The 2011 Barolo Cascina Nuova is a balanced and pretty expression that does a great job of presenting aromas of cherry, tar, licorice and grilled herb with equal billing. The wine is made with the estate's younger Nebbiolo vines for a more immediate and approachable style. There is a touch of green herb or olive on the finish that distinguishes it from its peers.

Bottled in August 2014. Fermented in stainless steel and when there was about 30 g/l sugar left the tank was closed and the cap kept submerged in the wine. 35 days on the skins. Healthy mid ruby with orange tinges. Dusty, deep nose of red ripe fruit. Quite savoury too, with hints of liquorice. Immediate, succulent yet a little austere. Pure cherry fruit with a fine tannic structure. A little lean for the moment but great potential. Walter Speller (Jancis Robinson, 03/2014) 17+
