Tasting notes
This is one of Poderi Luigi Einaudi's historic productions. This estate enjoys some of the best growing sites in the appellation despite the fact winemaking is performed outside the denomination on Dogliani. This estate is grandfathered into the system. The 2019 Barolo Cannubi is streamlined and silky in texture, but it shows enough inner tension and energy to support a busy bouquet with elements of wild berry, blue flower and dusty mineral. This wine shows that classic Cannubi weightlessness. Some 9,600 bottles were made.

Barolo. Just mid ruby. Concentrated and perfumed red fruit on the nose, with a savoury, minerally undertow and a hint of oak. Lively raspberry fruit with plenty of acidity and lots of grainy tannins. Lithe and elegant – perhaps a tad too much for the considerable tannic load, at least for now. More to come? (WS)
The 2019 Barolo Cannubi is another very tightly wound wine in this range. Sweet macerated cherry, spice, cedar, tobacco and licorice give the 2019 lovely inner sweetness. The 2019 is marked by considerable youthful austerity and plenty of tannin at this stage. Hopefully more Cannubi sensuality will emerge over time.
Dark garnet. Big, bold and ripe on the nose. I find this just a bit too sweet for comfort, a sweetness that is followed by almost uncomfortable acidity. Then a rather drying finish. Certainly youthful… (JR)
