Barolo 2022

Rolling Barolo hills with orderly rows of vineyards stretching across the landscape under a clear blue sky in Piedmont, Italy.

There’s real value to be found in the 2022 releases

While drought made 2022 a challenging vintage, pressure can make diamonds, and this year you’ll be rewarded if you know where to look. The producers who rose to the moment were unmistakable in our tastings, so we’ve trimmed the range to focus solely on them; it may be smaller than usual, but the hard work of selection is already done for you.

This will be a vintage to enjoy on the earlier side. Many of the wines will reach their peak over the next decade, making them the perfect option to reach for while you wait for your 2021s and 2019s to mature.
