Note di degustazione
The 2005 Barolo Cannubi is an attractive wine, even if some angularity in the tannins remains. Crushed flowers, dried cherries and mint open up nicely with the gentle patina of early maturity. Stylistically, the Cannubi is closer to the Brunate, although the magnum format has helped preserve a bit more freshness. I would prefer to drink the 2005 sooner rather than later.

The 2005 Barolo Cannubi (magnum) is a touch compact and austere, in keeping with the style of the vintage. The wine is a bit tight at first, but then opens up nicely in the glass. This is a mid-weight Cannubi from Ceretto, by the wine's freshness, finesse and length all suggest it will develop well in bottle. To be released circa 2015.

I came away impressed with the wines I tasted at Ceretto this year. Like many estates in Piedmont, Ceretto is moving back towards a greater use of large casks. The 2006 Barolos were fermented 10-15 days in stainless steel, followed by malolactic fermentation and anywhere from 24 to 30 months’ aging in French oak. Beginning with the 2007s, the Barolos spent about 16 months in French oak followed by a full year in cask. I also had a chance to taste Ceretto’s new Barolo from the storied Cannubi vineyard, a tiny production of just 550 magnums per year from a parcel of a quarter of a hectare the family purchased in 2002. At press time prices for the 2006 Barolos had not been determined. Importer: Wilson Daniels Ltd, St. Helena, CA; tel. (707) 963-9661
