Tasting notes
The 2004 Barolo Cannubi is one of the most reticent wines in the lineup. Freshly cut flowers, mint, sweet red berries, cinnamon and a dash of oak gradually open up in the glass, but the 2004 is going to need more time in bottle to truly open up. The Cannubi is Scavino's smallest production single-vineyard Barolo, which makes it hard to find, but it is well worth the effort.

Scavino's 2004 Barolo Cannubi is an imposing effort. It possesses a lovely inner perfume with layers of ripe fruit, menthol and spices that caress the palate, showing superb grace and purity. The tannins are sweet, ripe and round, adding to the wine's stylish, elegant personality. This is a surprisingly big Cannubi from Scavino.

Good full red. Raspberry, redcurrant and spicy oak on the nose. Dense, sappy and deep, with noteworthy energy to the red fruit and menthol flavors. Concentrated and sweet but not yet really expressive. But this vinous, vibrant wine finishes with terrific grip and aromatic perfume.
