Tasting notes
Barolo. Mid ruby. A little herbal and rather closed on the nose with only minerally, saline hints. Lots of juice and fruit that make for a vibrant palate, followed by bags of grainy tannins perfectly aligned with the fruit. Long and succulent. (WS)

The 2018 Barolo Cannubi is a bright and lively expression with wild fruit and cassis over a tight and elegant mouthfeel. This is a wine of texture and persistence, and you feel its silky effects on the palate for many minutes. It spreads wide and deep, revealing savory flavors of spice, licorice and a metallic touch of iron. The alcohol content is a bit much at 15%, but there is enough texture here to soften its effects. Some 40,000 bottles were released (and the glass weight used on this wine and the other cru selections is on the heavy side).
