Cannubi 2018 is a beautifully refined expression from Barolo’s most historic cru, showcasing the harmony and elegance that make Cannubi so revered. Aromas of dried rose petals, ripe cherry, orange peel, and warm spice lead into a silky, layered palate of red berry fruit, truffle, tobacco, and subtle earthy complexity. The 2018 vintage offers remarkable balance, with polished tannins and vibrant acidity giving the wine both immediate charm and long aging potential. A classic, cellar-worthy Barolo that captures the grace, structure, and timeless pedigree of this legendary vineyard.
"The Marchesi di Barolo 2018 Barolo Cannubi is a steady performer, as recent past vintages have shown us. The wine reveals a light and tapered style with plenty of delicate fruit, spice, licorice and crushed rose. It feels thin on the mid-palate but closes with a bright pinch of acidity and silky tannins. The soils of Cannubi are complex, with three types of marl soils of various densities that converge in this spot." Wine Advocate 92
