Cannubi is one of the most prominent vineyards in Barolo and has been recognised as a cru since 1752. The front label depicts the "ciabot", i.e. where the ancient Cannubi shed can be found in the middle of the steep, terraced vineyard. According to winemaker Stefano Chiarlo, 2016 was a vintage of rare qualitative excellence, where the absence of irregular weather events led to healthy, perfectly ripe grapes at harvest. The wine was aged for 3 years i medium-sized oak casks, then further aged in bottle prior to release. The result is an extraordinarily complex and elegant Barolo, with hints of red berries, rose petals, liquorice and rhubarb, with the notes of sweet spices and tobacco so typical of this cru. Structured and complex on the palate, finishing with silky tannins.
