Tasting notes
The 2016 Barolo Cannubi is an open-knit and accessible expression with aromas of dark fruit, leather and cured tobacco. Those savory and earthy characteristics come from the fruit, but they also come from the barrels used to age the wine. There is a touch of sour bitterness or astringency that distracts from the excellent fruit obtained in the 2016 vintage.

Fenocchio's 2016 Barolo Cannubi is fabulous. Rich and sumptuous, yet with plenty of structure, the Cannubi dazzles from the very first taste. Rose petal, sweet red cherry, mint, blood orange and incense are some of the many notes that lift from the glass. On the palate, the Cannubi impresses with its sense of vertical structure and gravitas. The trademark sensuality of Cannubi meets a classically austere style. The 2016 is a wonderfully complete Barolo. I loved it.
