I am impressed by the 2012 Barolo Cannubi. This celebrated vineyard site suffered serious hail damage in the 2012 vintage, and the vintners who farm this cru resorted to severe fruit selection in order to safeguard quality. Damilano has pulled out the best of the vintage for sure. This is a beautiful wine that boasts a delicate and feminine approach. There is pressed rose, dried violet, wild berry, cassis, cola, truffle and tilled earth. Lighter aromas of ash and smoke lift gracefully from the glass. The tannins are silky and long.

Rich and saturated, with cherry and strawberry flavors, gaining support from dense, assertive tannins. Yet there's plenty of sweetness, with accents of anise, tar and underbrush. Shows excellent length and finesse. Best from 2019 through 2033. 3,083 cases made, 252 cases imported.??–BS??Region: Italy / Piedmont / Barolo Select to Add
