Tasting notes
The 2015 Barolo Cannubi shows the silky softness and ripeness that comes through in this celebrated vineyard cru, especially in the warm vintages. Cannubi is usually one of the first vineyard parcels to ripen in the Barolo township. This is a balanced and elegant wine that focuses on finer aroma details of wild berry, cherry, spice, tar and licorice. Accompany this Barolo with a tasting platter of bresaola, culatello, coppa and mild cheeses. Some 6,000 bottles were made.

Barolo. Tasted blind. Mid ruby. A little stalky and reductive on the nose that slowly lifts with aeration. Sweet, lavish strawberry fruit on the palate, open-knit and with quite a build-up of fruit concentration on the finish. Long and with a layer of ripe tannins. Can be approached now. Perhaps a tiny bit alcoholic. (WS)
Aromas of blackberries, blueberries and citrus with some ground coffee. Full-bodied, round and chewy with polished tannins and an orange undertone to the aftertaste. Drink from 2022.
