Tasting notes
From one of the best-performing vineyard sites in Barolo (especially in balanced years such as this), the 2013 Barolo Cannubi is my favorite expression among the three cru expressions I tasted from Borgogno this year. This wine is forthcoming and direct in terms of its aromatic performance. You still get some of those Indian or Asian spice nuances that I discovered in the other wines from this storied estate. Put this wine aside for the next ten years.

The 2013 Barolo Cannubi is another wine in this range that lacks freshness, nuance or anything that resembles finesse. There is no Cannubi character whatsoever.
About the producer
One of Piedmont’s oldest estates, Giacomo Borgogno & Figli, often known as just “Borgogno”, is archly traditional. Favouring long macerations and extended ageing in Slavonian cask, it is best known for its impressive Barolos, especially the prized late releases from its extensive library stock.
