Something has changed. 🍷

(Reading time: 2 minutes)

Barolo 2021 and Barbaresco 2022: two vintages, two climates, two very different stories.

At Nebbiolo Prima, over 300 wines from 175 producers were tasted blind by critics and professionals. The takeaway?

✨ Barolo 2021 shines with structure, energy and elegance - an age-worthy vintage shaped by a cooler, more traditional season.

🌿 Barbaresco 2022, by contrast, reflects a more uneven growing cycle, marked by drought and heat - but also by the skill of producers able to craft balance and finesse even under pressure.

This double preview was organized by the Albeisa consortium, which in 2024 alone bottled 24 million wines in its signature Albeisa bottle, uniting 318 producers under the Langhe identity.

Despite climate uncertainties, Nebbiolo shows extraordinary resilience.

As Albeisa’s president Marina Marcarino explains, adaptation is now the real challenge: soil care, strategic pruning, and even genetic innovation are on the table to preserve the freshness and soul of these iconic wines.

Meanwhile, the world is watching: the U.S. is still the top market for Nebbiolo (18.7% Barolo, 19% Barbaresco), followed by Germany.

The future? Still to be written - one vintage at a time. 🍇
