The Vinum Barolo DOCG 2019

The Vinum Barolo DOCG 2019 is a poised, traditional expression of Nebbiolo from La Morra, one of the most coveted communes in the entire Barolo appellation. Sourced from southwest-facing hillsides and matured for years in large Slavonian oak casks, it delivers both immediate charm and serious aging potential. With 93 points from James Suckling and 4.3 stars on Vivino, this is a Barolo that marries classic structure with modern drinkability.

Tasting Notes
In the glass, The Vinum Barolo DOCG 2019 shows a luminous garnet core with brick-tinged edges, already hinting at its traditional Nebbiolo character. The nose is refined and layered: lifted notes of rose petals, red cherries and wild raspberries are interwoven with nuances of cinnamon and black pepper. With time in the glass—and with further cellaring—more savory complexity emerges, suggesting licorice, leather and a touch of dark chocolate. On the palate, this Barolo is both intense and elegant, offering a focused core of red fruit framed by Nebbiolo’s firm yet finely knit tannins. The acidity is vibrant but well integrated, giving the wine a poised, mouthwatering structure and a long, nuanced finish. Already approachable with proper aeration, it will continue to evolve beautifully over the next 10–15 years, gaining tertiary notes and greater textural harmony.

Production
The grapes for The Vinum Barolo DOCG 2019 come from southwest-facing vineyards in La Morra, in the heart of Piemonte, where calcareous marl soils and a pronounced diurnal range help Nebbiolo achieve both aromatic lift and structural depth. The vines are hand-harvested in mid-October to ensure optimal ripeness and careful selection of bunches in the vineyard. Fermentation takes place over 10–15 days at controlled temperatures, extracting color, tannin and aromatics in a measured, traditional style. The wine is then aged for a minimum of three years in large Slavonian oak casks, followed by at least six months of bottle aging, allowing the components to knit together and the classic Barolo character to emerge in full.

Food & Serving
This is a natural partner for rich, savory dishes and the earthy flavors of northern Italian cuisine. It shines alongside truffle dishes, mushroom risotto, braised beef or game, osso buco, slow-cooked lamb shank and hearty pasta such as tagliatelle al ragù. Aged, hard cheeses like Parmigiano Reggiano are also an excellent match. Serve at 16–18 °C, and decant for 1–2 hours before serving to open up the aromatics and soften the tannins, especially in its younger years.
