"Intense ruby red with violet reflections. On the nose hints of red fruits, light spiciness. On the palate a full wine, but at the same time elegant, deep, enveloping, wide and warm. Soft but persistent tannin." —winemaker |
Critical Acclaim | |||
"Extremely perfumed with cedar, light mushroom, toffee and plum, following through to a medium to full body with firm, dusty tannins and a long, compact and linear finish. Builds at the end. Real Cannubi magic. Drink after 2026." —James Suckling "The 2016 Barolo Cannubi opens with inviting floral aromas of candied cherry, fresh roses, and sage. The palate is more approachable in its structure and fruit, with dried apricot, tea leaf, and cranberry. The 2016 Cannubi has a more graceful nature now, though also has a long-lived build. Drink 2022-2040." —JebDunnuck.com "The 2016 Barolo Cannubi is the first Borgogno Barolo made from organically farmed vineyards, which represents a pretty significant shift here. Bright and beautifully lifted in the glass, the Cannubi is so expressive today. Succulent red berry fruit, spice, blood orange, rose petal and star anise build as this sensual, open-knit Barolo shows off its allure, which is considerable." —Antonio Galloni, Vinous |
