Tasting notes
The 2012 Barolo Cannubi shows the more powerful side of the year. Black cherry, smoke, French oak, mocha, plum and chocolate notes all develop in the glass. This is an especially powerful, intense expression of Cannubi, and yet all the elements are nicely balanced within the opulent style that is the signature of the Damilano Barolos. There is plenty of depth in the glass, but the 2012 comes across as a wine that is best enjoyed sooner rather than later.

I am impressed by the 2012 Barolo Cannubi. This celebrated vineyard site suffered serious hail damage in the 2012 vintage, and the vintners who farm this cru resorted to severe fruit selection in order to safeguard quality. Damilano has pulled out the best of the vintage for sure. This is a beautiful wine that boasts a delicate and feminine approach. There is pressed rose, dried violet, wild berry, cassis, cola, truffle and tilled earth. Lighter aromas of ash and smoke lift gracefully from the glass. The tannins are silky and long.
