The 2019 Barolo vintage was a fantastic success. Brilliant wines were made and saw an enthusiastic response from drinkers and collectors. We still have a few gems in stock, so are delighted to present a round-up of highlights.

Antonio Galloni nicely sums up what made this vintage so special. For him, “a stellar vintage in 2019 that could very well represent the beginning of a new cycle of strong, outstanding years for this historic appellation” and “The 2019s are potent, tightly wound wines that will thrill readers who appreciate the nuance, subtlety and structure of Nebbiolo”. His thoughts are echoed by The Wine Advocate’s Monica Larner, who says, “There is a solid argument to be made that the wine regions of Piedmont have entered a chapter of unprecedented glory.”

We’ve hand-picked the below as being great representations of this excellent year. Included are world-famous producers such as Gaja and Vietti, alongside rising stars like Alessandria, Vajra and Einaudi, all of which are superb.

Scores, notes and value are eye-catching across the board.
