Tasting Notes
Antonio Galloni 96
The 2020 Barolo Cannubi is the most expressive of the Burlotto Barolos today. Relative to the Monvigliero especially, it benefits from having spent ten more months in bottle. The 2020 shows the lighter style of the year, but has gorgeous textural depth to fill out its layers. Plush tannins wrap around a core of black cherry, plum, cloves, new leather and licorice. The Cannubi is a standout.
Anticipated maturity: 2028-2045

The 2020 Barolo Cannubi is very fine and delicate with light rose, peony and floral aromas that dovetail into tart fruit, small currants and underripe cherry. This lean-bodied Barolo is all about grace, detail and pinpoint aromas that cede to smooth ripeness and fine texture. The Cannubi offers an almost weightless style with integrated oak, cedar, camphor ash and crushed stone. Some 4,000 bottles of this quintessentially pretty wine were made.
Anticipated maturity: 2026-2050
