‘Barolo bounces back with a stellar vintage in 2019 that could very well represent the beginning of a new cycle of strong, outstanding years for this historic appellation… in short, Vinous readers will find plenty to explore in 2019, including the latest vintage from Barolo’s majestic hillside vineyards.’ – Antonio Galloni on Barolo 2019
‘A classic in the making… 2019 may be the last time an electrifying, fresh and tannic vintage has been gifted to us in Barolo…’ – Walter Speller on Barolo 2019
Brunswick visited this great region last June. We were fortunate to taste at some great producers, and we knew something very special indeed was brewing with the 2019 vintage. Antonio Galloni’s recent extensive report on this ‘stellar vintage’ very much restates our own initial take. We feel the wines have the feel of a classic year – classic as in great – not the misunderstood ‘classical’ – showing superb tension, delineation and, as Walter Speller has stated, an ‘electrifying’ dimension.
We think the 2019’s have the finest of fruit expressions with the most elegant yet tactile tannins and a perfect, balancing acidity. They are built for the long term yet everything we tried had a joyous immediacy with the requisite finesse and balance to show their qualities as young wines. Little wonder we loved them! Walter Speller has compared them to the great 2013 vintage: striking similarities in growing seasons with a cool, damp spring in both years before June temperatures shot up, promoting healthy growth. Dry and warm August weather gave further cause for optimism before similar a pattern of September weather set in: warm days and cool dry nights – the diurnal temperature shifts being key to a long, slow and ideal development in Nebbiolo grapes, and the wonderful fresh delineation character that has resulted in the finished wines. As Speller has indicated the 2019’s ‘excel in elegance’, [display] ‘stunning balance’ producing ‘a truly classic, fresh vintage’.
There is much to look forward to and Brunswick will be offering a series of top growers as and when we receive allocations on release. Please see below for the wines we have available for sale and click here to register your interest for the individual offers as they go live.
