Tasting notes
The 2010 Barolo Cannubi is an elegant wine that already shows pretty signs of its bottle evolution. The fruit is subtle and pulled to the background. The wine offers up-front aromas of rum cake, dried fruit, leather, tobacco and cured meat. This Nebbiolo shows a strongly savory side, with crushed mineral, licorice and toasted hazelnut.

Translucent and sensual, Rinaldi's 2010 Barolo Cannubi graces the palate with exquisite finesse. The floral aromatics, silky tannins and precise, sculpted fruit are pure Cannubi. Mint, hard candy and cinnamon are laced into the soft, gracious finish. Disarmingly open and seductive, the 2010 is absolutely joyous today, yet it also clearly has the pedigree to age well for many years.
Barolo. Mid ruby with broad orange rim. Iron and orange peel but really subdued. Rose-petal hints. Easygoing, soft and round fruit but with firm chewy tannins on the finish. Not really challenging. (WS)
Barolo. Palish ruby with orange tinges. Sweet and a little floral, almost like a Nebbiolo d’Alba. Already quite open and enjoyable, but it needs food. Good freshness, though. (WS)
