We've often said, finding value in Barolo is hard to do. That's why we are so excited about the San Silvestro Barolo 2019. Reminiscent of Burgundy, the Italian wine region of Piedmont is comprised of many small family owned vineyards with an obsession to produce some of the world's finest wine. The 2019 San Silvestro Barolo lives up to that reputation, and cousins Paolo and Guido Sartirano are now the fourth generation of the family to craft these amazing wines. Crafted from 40+ year old vineyards in the prime Barolo zones of Novello, Roero, and Monferrato, the 2019 vintage is classic Barolo with bright acidity and early appeal. Aromas of red cherries, flowers and spices give this Italian red much of its widespread appeal, in a juicy style that has become a signature of San Silvestro.
"Delicate scents of rose petals, tar and dried herbs intertwine with hints of cherry and truffle in this captivating Barolo. On the palate, flavors of red berries and licorice are embraced by firm tannins, while lively acidity adds vibrancy. This Nebbiolo reveals a velvety texture, leading to a lingering, complex finish. Drink 2025–2040. Cellar Selection." The Wine Enthusiast, 93 Points
"Attractive and flavorful Barolo that offers subtle notes of red cherries, rose hips, red licorice, dried blood orange and hints of moist earth. Medium- to full-bodied with firm and chalky tannins. Yet it’s fresh and crunchy with vivid red fruit and floral undertones. Try after 2025." James Suckling, 92 Points
