Description

Crafted by Azelia in the renowned Barolo region of Piedmont, Italy, this 2019 Nebbiolo-based Barolo is a masterclass in elegance and complexity. Sourced from seven esteemed vineyards across Castiglione Falletto and Serralunga d’Alba—including historic sites like Altenasso and Cerretta—this wine blends tradition with modern finesse to create a layered drinking experience perfect for collectors and enthusiasts alike.

Awards from top critics highlight its brilliance: James Suckling praises its “juicy tannins” and ripe strawberry notes (94 points), while Jeb Dunnuck lauds its “angular structure” and classic Barolo character (92 points). The wine opens with aromas of wild cherry and dried herbs, evolving into a palate rich with black tea, cranberry, and hints of menthol. Firm yet polished tannins frame vibrant red fruit flavors, balanced by bright acidity that lingers on the finish.

Ideal for aging—cellar until 2024 or beyond—this Barolo rewards patience with deeper integration of its spice-driven complexity. Its structured profile pairs exceptionally with robust dishes like braised meats or aged cheeses, showcasing Nebbiolo’s signature depth without overwhelming bold flavors. At 14.5% alcohol, it offers both power and refinement, making it a standout choice for special occasions or serious wine cellars.

A testament to Piedmont’s terroir, Azelia’s 2019 Barolo stands out for its meticulous craftsmanship and ability to age gracefully. Whether enjoyed now or cellared for future sipping, it delivers the classic balance of fruit intensity and savory nuance that defines top-tier Barolo wines.
