Marchesi di Barolo Barolo Cannubi 2018, 75cl

Cannubi is a long, gently sloping hill right in the middle of the Barolo area. The higher hills which surround it protect it from storms and high winds. Its soil is a mix of different clays and fine sands filled with lime stone. The soil type and microclimate give Cannubi an exeptional completeness and balance, harmony between structure and aromas, and remarkably elegant tannins, making this Barolo not just a pleasure to drink but also a wine with long lifespan.
This Barolo from Cannubi is aged in small French oak barriques and then in large Slovenian oak barrels. There are very generous red fruit notes, roses and violets, baked clay, cedar wood and green tobacco. Lifted, floral with refined tannins. Serve with veal tournedos, truffle sauce and orange baked beetroot.
The vintage 2018 presented tough climatic challenges. After an early spring, a cool and rainy period during flowering positively influenced cluster formation. Although the summer was characterized by heat and drought, it favored gradual ripening. Climatic variations in September, from warm to a sudden drop in temperature, shaped the final composition, giving vibrant acidity, refined tannins, and expressive fruit characteristics. Made exclusively from 100% Nebbiolo, Barolo Cannubi 2018 rises from an exceptional geological anomaly that defies the context of the Tortonian era.
