Damilano Barolo Cannubi DOCG 2019

Piedmont, Italy

750 ml

95 pts. James Suckling:

"Captivating aromas of roses, cherries, strawberries and fresh oranges. Medium to full body with extremely fine tannins that run the length of the wine. Succulent and extremely long and persistent. Such class. Drinkable but better in two or three years."

94 pts. Wine Advocate:

"In a heavy glass bottle, the 2019 Barolo Cannubi shows notes of dried fruit and redcurrant over a mid-weight, dark ruby appearance. This expression from the celebrated Cannubi cru (with its classic mix of sand, loam and clay) also shows a mineral-driven side with rusty nail and baked clay. There are savory hints of black licorice and crushed rose as well. The effect is long, polished and drying in this bigger production of 35,000 bottles."

94 pts. Wine Spectator:

"A bright, solidly built red, with aromas of hay, cherry and plum leading to juicy fruit flavors complemented by wild herbs. Shows a supple texture offset by dense tannins, while the finish incorporates sweet spices. Best from 2026 through 2043. 2,900 cases made, 1,500 cases imported."

Winemaker Notes

Garnet ruby red with orange reflections. Ample and embracing, with pronounced fruity notes of cherry and plum and notes of tobacco, licorice and cocoa. Harmonious, pleasantly dry with soft tannins, broad and full-bodied. Persistent finish.

Cannubi is a sumptuous wine, perfect with the full-flavoured Piedmontese cuisine such as white truffle-based dishes and braised meat. Ideal with the refined dishes of the great international gastronomy.
