This exclusive vineyard is known for sandy soils resulting in soft and silky wines, and the 2015 Barolo Cannubi is delicate indeed. (The nearby Cerequio vineyard, by contrast, results in more austere, thick and dense wines.) This Barolo is aged in botte grande for 24 months, producing an expressive and tight wine, slightly shy at first, revealing forest berry, blue lavander and licorice. This warm vintage does offer substance and volume. The Barolo Cannubi was not produced in 2014.

This young Barolo combines cherry fruit with oak notes of vanilla and toast, adding an extra layer of tannins. Floral, licorice and tar accents emerge as this plays out on the palate, leaving a complex, if compact, finish. Best from 2022 through 2037. 500 cases made, 100 cases imported.??–BS??Region: Italy / Piedmont / Barolo Select to Add
