Tasting notes
The medium red 2021 Barolo Cannubi is a bit shy on the nose on opening, with aromas of dusty earth, cedar, pomegranate, and dried leather. Its more floral and pure profile comes through on the palate, with an elegant, medium-bodied feel, fine tannins, and a delicate weightlessness on the finish. It’s a very pretty wine with a more open-knit structure and is likely to show its best over the coming 8-10 years.

This is a real beauty. Poderi Luigi Einaudi has expertly managed to interpret this legendary cru in a classic vintage. The 2021 Barolo Cannubi is a finely textured wine with a long succession of aromatic high tones that include cassis, licorice, smoke, iris and something almost citrusy in character. The wine is tight but streamlined on the palate, and it pushes forward with long, polished intensity. Production is 9,480 bottles.
Barolo. Just mid ruby with orange tinges. Sweet, spicy notes mingling with raspberry fruit and a hint of gingerbread (from oak). Juicy and fragrant, if a little light in fruit, and with a layer of firm, chewy tannins. Perhaps the fruit still needs to come out? (WS)
Barolo. Very pale ruby. Finely perfumed and still a little brooding on the nose. Shy, elegant red fruit on the palate. Fragrant and almost fleeting on the finish. Attractive, if a tad light for this important cru. (WS)
