Tasting notes
The 2015 Barolo Cannubi is creamy and open-knit, with soft curves and a slightly mature profile of dried fruit, cedar, tobacco, dried flowers and spice. The 2015 offers good depth, but I would not push my luck on aging, as the flavors are already a bit dried out.

This is a clean, somewhat naked and straightforward interpretation of Cannubi, a vineyard site that always puts elegance and finesse first. The Marchesi di Barolo 2015 Barolo Cannubi offers silky richness in this warm vintage with plenty of wild fruit followed by dusty mineral and fragrant menthol notes. This wine is compact, pretty and bright. Some 26,000 bottles were made.
Barolo. Tasted blind. Dark ruby. Substantial and concentrated ripe fruit on the nose but not showing it all at the moment. Generous and fruit-driven palate with ripe, grainy tannins adding a nice contrast to the concentrated fruit. A great mouthful of fruit with tangy acidity on the finish. (WS)
Extremely perfumed with iodine, smoke, spice and berry character. Full body, dense and juicy tannins and a flavorful finish. Shows length and beauty. Drink from 2021.
