From: 2022 Barolo: Half-Full or Half-Empty? (Jan 2026)
The 2022 Barolo Via Nuova is a superb wine for the year. It benefits from a blend of seven vineyards that compensates for many of the extremes of the year. Bright red cherry fruit, blood orange, chalk, mint and white pepper lend notable energy, along with a feeling of translucence that is compelling. Vineyard sites are Terlo, Liste and Paiagallo (Barolo); Gabutti and Baudana (Serralunga) and Ravera di Monforte and Mosconi (Monforte). The blend really does rule in 2022. 2028 - 2042
