Cascina delle Rose Mixed Pack

$549.00 Per case of 6

A few words from Ned Goodwin MW on the vintages:

“2019 is the first of a triumvirate of very good vintages, following the forward, frisky and imminently approachable 2018’s. To make recent comparisons, 2019 is dense of extract with a bulwark of firm, marked tannins. It is frequently compared to 2013, by others to 2016.  Suggesting the platform for classically aligned, highly age-worthy expressions of top crus, including Barbaresco.
As Walter Speller for Jancis Robinson (.com) poses, ‘…can Barbaresco really be that lucky? Producers themselves seem to think so.’
Cascina della Rose, always a proponent of skeletal, fine boned tannins and pixelated freshness with red fruit allusions shimmering beneath, has crafted two exceptional iterations of the denser Rio Sordo and the more transparent Tre Stelle, a unique monopole higher on the Rio Sordo site, comprised of thin top soils over blue limestone.
2021 on the other hand was a vintage of extremes. Very good, somewhat ironically, as a result. There was abundant water in the ground and despite torrid heat, diurnal shifts were radical, serving to retain natural acidity in the grapes. Frost, as is so common in a climate challenged world, served to mitigate abundance. The result is a raft of wines that are concentrated and juicy of fruit, paradoxically primed by an uncanny level of verve. Expect ripeness and wonderful energy, and already being heralded as potentially the greatest vintage in the last two decades.”

Six Pack contains the following:

1 x bottle 2019 Barbaresco Rio Sordo

“The 2019 Rio Sordo is an absolute stunner, boasting precision and a pristine quality that keeps you wanting more. Fragrant and radiant, it opens with enticing scents of violet, rose, perfumed berry, star anise, new leather and menthol. Seamlessly combining finesse and structure, the vibrant youthfully austere palate delivers crushed red cherry, white pepper, licorice and blood orange set against a backbone of fine-grained tannins, while a hint of almost salty mineral lingers on the close. Fresh acidity keeps it bright and balanced.  Drink 2027 – 2044. 100 points, Kerin O’Keefe

 

1 x bottle 2019 Barbaresco Tre Stelle

“All about finesse showing Nebbiolo’s gentler side, Cascine Delle Rose’s 2019 Barbaresco Tre Stelle offers mesmerising aromas of woodland berry, blue flowers, camphor and pine forest.  Linear and vibrant, the focused palate features juicy red cherry, raspberry and star anise framed in lithe, refined tannins.  Its energised and beautifully balanced, with bright acidity.  Drink 2025 – 2039. 97 points, Kerin O’Keefe

 

2 x bottles 2021 Dolcetto d’Alba A Elizabeth

The 2021 Dolcetto d’Alba A Elizabeth is packed with dark cherry, plum, mocha, spice and new leather. This heady, sumptuous Nebbiolo is certainly not a shy wine, but it captures the magic of a year that marries textural richness and energy. 90 points – Vinous
