Ruby/ brick in color with medium intensity.

Red fruits on the nose with light oak, tobacco and chocolate notes.

Medium bodied with medium acidity.

Dry on the palate with cherries, plums, currants, light wood, spices, coffee, earth, dark chocolates, tobacco leaf, herbs and black pepper.

Medium plus on the finish with fine grained tannins and tangy raspberries.

What a delicious Barolo. Elegant and rich. Complex and interesting. Well balanced with a nice mouthfeel.

The 2019 vintage in Barolo was excellent. This Single Vineyard is particularly unique for the vintage as it is already very approachable.

Will continue to age nicely in the next 10 to 20 years. Would be nice to revisit it in 7 years.

Easy drinking right out of the bottle, and good by itself as a sipping wine.

100% Nebbiolo grapes were aged in large Slavonian oak barrels for 4 years.

14.5% alcohol by volume.

Pale reddish in color with light intensity.

Pretty nose with wild flowers, red cherries, currants, light wood, spices, coffee, earth, wet leaves and herbs.

Medium plus in body with medium acidity.

Dry on the palate with raspberries, red currants, cherries, earth, black coffee, light wood, spices, light vegetables and tobacco leaf.

Tangy finish with fine grained tannins and tangy raspberries.

This is a very tasty, yet young, Barolo from the great Cannubi Vineyard. Elegant and robust.

Already drinking very nicely, and will continues to age nicely in the next 15 years.

Tangy and interesting with nice complexity and good balance.

Good by itself as a sipping wine, or with food.

100% Nebbiolo grapes were aged for 30 months in large Slavonian oak barrels.

Really love this one compared to any other dolcetto. For me it’s better than the Vigna del Prey cru as well. — 3 months ago

Love it when older bottles don’t disappoint. Not the 64 Monfortino, for sure, but not a slacker. — a month ago

Dark brick in color.

Pretty nose of stewed red fruits, light oak, spices, caramel, sweet chocolates notes, smoked meat and black pepper.

Light to medium in body with medium acidity.

Dry on the palate with raspberries, sweet cherries, cooked plums, earth, light forest floor, tobacco leaf, herbs and light black pepper.

Long finish with fine grained tannins and tangy strawberries.

This 42 year old Barolo is just gorgeous now. Drinking beautifully with great complexity and mouthfeel. Elegant and rich. Well balanced and powerful.

Feels like it still has power in it to last even longer, although I don't see it getting much better from this point on. Will continue to drink nicely in the next 5 to 10 years.

Easy drinking right out of the bottle, and good by itself as a sipping wine. Still showing great acidity and feels vibrant and very much alive. Delicious, powerful and delectable.

This is a wonderful experience. I just love tasting these kind of aged wines.

100% Nebbiolo grapes were aged for 12 months in cement vats and then for 5 years in Slavonian oak barrels.
