Given its huge overlay of tannin, the 1988 Barolo-Cannubi reveals a traditional style of winemaking. It is less flattering and the wine is even tighter and more austere than the Barolo-Bric del Fiasc. Nevertheless, aromas of almonds, cherries, and tar are present in this classic Barolo. Anticipated maturity: 1995-2005 . Importer: a Marc de Grazia Selection, Michael Skurnick Wines, Westbury, NY.

Firm and flavorful, with some ripe black cherry, anise and vanilla fighting through the drying tannins, finishing with some supple texture and generous flavors. Best after 1998. 300 cases made.??–null??Region: Italy / Piedmont / Barolo Select to Add
