Cannubi Barolo Nebbiolo 2020

Ruby in color with a wide brick rim.

Fruity nose with red fruits, flowers, metals, light earth and herbs.

Medium bodied with medium plus acidity.

Dry on the palate with raspberries, fresh picked cherries, vegetables, light wood, spices, coffee and peppercorn.

Spicy finish with round tannins and tangy raspberries.

This is a very tasty, yet young, Barolo from the famous Cannubi plot in Barolo. Light and airy. Elegant, and feels very big.

Not very approachable yet, and needs a few years in the bottle to mature properly. Showing great potential to age nicely in the 10 years, and beyond.

100% Nebbiolo grapes were aged in large oak barrels for 32 months. A limited Production.

14.5% alcohol by volume.

91 points.

$100.

Barolo Nebbiolo 2019

Opened too young; lovely and exceptionally made wine. Brickish red/brown. I let decant for a loooong time. Lots of cranberry and red fruit, some herbs, clay, faint cedar and tobacco. The acidity was med-high, but the tannins really softened out with aeration. I'd say this is still developing flavors and will be 95+ in a decade. — 2 months ago

Riserva Barolo Nebbiolo 2005

This wine is medium garnet in color.

On the nose & palate are deeply concentrated notes of dried fig, prune, plum, blackcurrant, black cherry, juicy pomegranate, wild strawberry preserves, black licorice, anise, fennel, clove, cardamom, acrylic, balsamic, violet, rose, potpourri, forest floor, potting soil, black tea, & crushed gravel…

This wine has high acidity & tannins, which are fine & integrated with the deeply concentrated aromas & flavors.

The finish lingers. This wine is excellent and holding up beautifully with runway ahead of it still.

@Dave Clinton Nebbiolo is one of our absolute favorite grapes — as a Barolo, Barbaresco, Langhe, Valtellina… we love it all. And this wine was firing on all cylinders. So beautiful, brooding (dark fruit, spice), & layered. Yum! I’ll bet your Frenchies were delicious, too!!!!! Cheers, Dave! 🍷

Liste Barolo Nebbiolo 2019

Ruby/ brick in color with medium intensity.

Beautiful nose of flowers, raspberries, earth, light herbs, light wood and peppercorn.

Medium plus in body with medium plus acidity.

Dry on the palate with mild complexity and a harsh mouthfeel.

Long finish with fine grained tannins and tangy raspberries.

This young Single Vineyard Barolo feels big and robust, but looks lighter than it feels. Very tasty though.

The 2019 Barolo vintage is less approachable now, but it's only going to get better from this point.

Needs a few years to mature in the bottle, and will continue to age nicely in the next 10 to 15 years. A good food wine right now.

100% Nebbiolo grapes were aged in large Slavonian oak barrels for 3 years.

Francia Barolo Nebbiolo 2009

Wow - first wine by Giacomo conterno and I see why this producer is hailed as one of the legends of Piedmonte. This required a few hours of air in decanter and was singing - the nose was utterly amazing with layered florals. Full body and a seemless experience on the palate - this has the structure to continue evolving for a few more years in bottle but I see no reason to wait! — 3 months ago

Barolo Nebbiolo 2022

The nose is textbook nebbiolo with cherry, sour cherry, tar, almond, hay, tobacco leaves, black tea and roasted pork shoulder juice 😀. The palate is rather big and bold with a strong acid drive, a dry palate through and through, some impressive width, cherry, tea and that savoury note reminiscent of the pork shoulder juice note I found on the nose. The mouthfeel is first soft and nice, with almost a sweeter touch, before a great tannic walls comes and disrupts the entire feel and triggers a rather long finish with tea, cherry, tobacco touches and again that savoury pork note. It's a lovely, not so complex nebbiolo but really well made and offering pleasure by itself or alongside dinner (we had it along chicken gizzard stew and it worked super well). — 3 months ago

Based on a sample of only this wine I would tend to agree, Jay. I will try to locate other examples now 😁
