The 2019 Barolo Cannubi is a powerhouse. A Barolo of real substance and depth, the 2019 packs a huge punch. It offers a great foil to the finesse of Monvigliero. Black cherry, lavender, spice, menthol and leather infuse the 2019 with tons of complexity. Here, too, the tannins are wonderfully integrated into the wine's fabric, but make no mistake about it, the 2019 has a ton of tannin!

Fabio Alessandria's family purchased land in Cannubi in 1982, the same year they started production of the Barolo Monvigliero. The property measures 0.7 hectares. The Comm. G.B. Burlotto 2019 Barolo Cannubi shows elegance and power with a lifted layer of fruity intensity that recalls dark cherry, cassis, iris root, violet, white licorice and crushed stone. Cannubi is known for elegance and the depth of its aromas, and this balanced vintage delivers on those fronts.
