Tasting note

The 2008 Barolo Cannubi sweeps across the palate with layers of dark red fruit, flowers, subtle French oak, mint, licorice and spices. This is an especially pliant, generous 2008 laced with expressive fruit and fabulous overall balance. The south-facing Cannubi yields a juicier more fruit-driven style than Via Nuova. The 2008 impresses for its inner perfume and overall sense of harmony. Anticipated maturity: 2018-2028. Score - 95. (Antonio Galloni, erobertparker.com, April 2012)

This dry orangey red coloured wine features medium woody, empyreumatic, spicy, floral, fruity and vegetal scents and offers a broad texture as well as rough tannins.
