Tasting Notes

Robert Parker Wine Advocate Antonio Galloni - 26 Apr 12
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. Chiara Boschis did a great job with her 2008 Baroli. I was equally impressed with all of the wines I tasted in barrel during my most recent visit. Importer: Indigenous Selection, Fort Lauderdale FL; tel. (954) 963 6251

Lacklustre mid ruby. An impressive nose of lifted cherry, fruitcake and chalk. Lots of depth. Perfumed and multilayered and already amazingly appealing with crunchy tannin and just the right amount of acidity. Hedonistic, with a muscular structure. (WS)

Barolo Vineyard Fine Wine

Barolo

Barolo, the "King of Wines," is a prestigious red from Piedmont, Italy, made exclusively from Nebbiolo grapes. Known for deep complexity, Barolo offers rich flavours of dark cherries, roses, truffles, and spices, with high acidity and firm tannins. It ages exceptionally well, evolving in depth and nuance. Barolo's diverse terroirs create a range of styles, from powerful to delicate. Top producers include Gaja, Bruno Giacosa, Giuseppe Rinaldi, and Marchesi di Barolo, all of whom exemplify Barolo's tradition and quality.
