2017 Marchesi di Barolo Cannubi Barolo

Winemaker Notes:  Garnet-red in color with ruby reflections. Intense perfume with clean scent of roses, vanilla, licorice, spices and toasted oak. Gentle notes of absinthe. The flavor is full and elegant, good- bodied and austere with recurring olfactory sensations. The spicy note and the hints of wood blend perfectly. The Barolo Cannubi reaches its maturity after 6 years from the harvest and can be enjoyed throughout its life between 6 and 25 years.

With its great structure, this wine is particularly adapted to red meats, braised dishes and game in general. It is an ideal accompaniment for cheeses and our typical local cuisine.

CRITICAL ACCLAIM


James Suckling - "Aromas of orange peel, smoke, dried rose petal and light strawberry follow through to a medium body with dusty, fine tannins. Some asphalt and hazelnut in the aftertaste. Drink after 2024."


Wine Spectator - "This is elegant and combines cherry and strawberry fruit with wild herbs and tea flavors. Taut and sleek, with a solid line of tannins running underneath it all, ending with a white pepper accent. Best from 2024 through 2042."


Robert Parker's Wine Advocate - "From a challenging growing season, the Marchesi di Barolo 2017 Barolo Cannubi shows that note of dried cherry fruit and cassis that is the earmark of this hot and dry vintage. The Cannubi is fermented in steel vat before moving into large oak casks and the more traditionally sized barrique for aging. The fruit here is softy integrated with some of those sandy soil mineral and blue flower notes that are a classic sign of Cannubi fruit."


Wine Enthusiast - "Oak-driven spice, iris and scorched earth aromas waft out of the glass. Linear and taut, the palate recalls sour cherry, star anise and espresso alongside fine-grained tannins. Drink 2025–2030."
