Robert Parker (93)

The 2018 Barolo Cascina Nuova is fine-tuned with plenty of wild berry, cassis, grilled herb and crushed stone. The aromas are quite classic for Nebbiolo, but what stands out here is the directness and freshness with which they are delivered. The tannins are tucked carefully inside the smooth, silky character of this elegant wine. 20,000 bottles were produced.

James Suckling (92)

Enticing aromas of red berries, citrus fruit and flowers follow through to a bright, silky palate with medium body and very fine tannins. Lacks a bit of body this year, but it’s bright, balanced and well focused.

Jancis Robinson (17)

Novello. 40 days on the skins.
Lustrous mid ruby. Floral and precise raspberry nose underpinned by concentrated sour cherry. Real finesse on the nose. Full, perfectly ripe sour-cherry palate. Crunchy tannins reined in by the fruit on the finish. Truly fine. (WS)

Falstaff (94)

A sparkling garnet red. Initially slightly smoky on the nose, then notes of ripe wild berries and plums, with a touch of forest floor in the aftertaste. Fresh and juicy on the palate, with plenty of fruit, fine-grained tannins and a long, spicy finish.

Wine Enthusiast (94)

Floral aromas of rose and iris mingle with red berry and tilled earth on this perfumed red. Elegantly structured, the vibrant palate offers juicy red cherry, crushed raspberry and star anise before a savory, almost salty finish. Taut, refined tannins and bright acidity keep it balanced.
