Tasting notes
Barolo. Lustrous mid ruby with the beginning of orange tinges. Peppery and slow to unfurl on the nose and with hidden, perfumed depths. Lush, juicy fruit followed by lots of gravelly tannins. Great balance. Needs time to fully display its hidden complexity. (WS)

The 2021 Barolo Cannubi pours a reflective ruby red hue and leads with a lovely floral and fruity perfume with an elegantly layered feel, revealing notes of fresh leather, raspberry liqueur, wild strawberries, fresh violets, and candied licorice. It moves seamlessly to the palate, with a juicy and approachable feel upfront before its more compact structure and energy reveal themselves through the mid-palate and finish. It has refreshing acidity, well-defined, ripe tannins, and a nice element of nervous energy through the finish, suggesting its ability to age and improve over the next 12-15 years. It’s a joyful and fantastic wine from Cannubi in this vintage.
The 2021 Barolo Cannubi is another stellar Barolo in this range from Claudio Fenocchio. Aromatic and lifted, the 2021 is classic Cannubi. Bright acids cut through a core of sweet red-toned fruit, mint, orange peel, cinnamon and new leather. This chiseled, nuanced Barolo is a winner.
