"A pure, intense and linear red, this exudes cherry, raspberry, rose, hay and white pepper aromas and flavors. Offers plenty of finesse but also a firm spine of tannins, which bode well for future development. Features fine harmony and a long fruity, minerally and savory aftertaste." Bruce Sanderson Wine Spectator 95 points Drink 2023-45

Offers plenty of finesse but also a firm spine of tannins, which bode well for future development. Features fine harmony and a long fruity, minerally and savory aftertaste. Best from 2025 through 2045.

The 2016 Barolo Cannubi is characterized by chalky mineral notes that give the wine a sense of place. This wine features fruit from a southeast-facing parcel in Cannubi composed of loose, calcareous soils that tend to produce early-ripening fruit and nicely concentrated flavors. Elegant mineral tones are also part of the Cannubi package. The mouthfeel here is silky and tightly knit.

Aromas of red berry, wild herb and camphor lead the way. On the linear medium-bodied palate, dusty tannins accompany sour cherry, pomegranate and licorice. Drink through 2028.

The 2016 Barolo Cannubi is compact and unyieldingly austere. I don't see the charm, depth or pliancy that are the signatures of Cannubi.
