Note di degustazione
The 2017 Barolo Cannubi is a beauty, thanks to the sheer depth and complexity delivered in what surely was a challenging vintage with spring frost and a summer heat drought. Cannubi did not fare well in 2017 for some who farm there, but this estate shows a magic touch that sets it above the rest. The bouquet is redolent of wild cassis, blueberry, lilac, pressed violets and orange peel and crushed limestone. The aromas are feathered and fine, and the wine continues to the palate with a delicate sense of power and sharpness that is unique to this bottle. The tannins are still tight, and Cannubi needs extra time in the cellar. This is a standout sensation made in 2017 (with only 4,000 bottles made).

The classic aromatics in the 2017 Barolo Cannubi include aniseed, dried cherry, leather, and violets. Fresh and linear, with fine tannins and notes of cranberry cocktail, cinnamon, and dusty earth, this is a lifted and vibrant expression from the Burlotto estate. Drink 2024-2042.
The 2017 Barolo Cannubi is enveloping and sensual right out of the gate. At the same time, it has plenty of tannic underpinning, which gives shape and real sense of direction. Like all the 2017s here, the Cannubi is decidedly mid weight in feel. Spice, leather, sweet pipe tobacco and subtle earthy notes linger. The Cannubi balances fruit intensity with a classic sense of structure. I can't wait to see how it ages.
Barolo. Their plot of Cannubi is quite cool due to its east exposition, which turns slightly towards the west. Mid ruby. A tad reductive and a little stalky at first. With aeration, complex cherry notes emerge. Hints of exotic spice. Full but not yet open cherry fruit that is supple and really fine. Quite a rich layer of tannins with hints of liquorice. The tannins are certainly demanding, but this is far from ready. (WS)
