Marchesi di Barolo 'Barolo Cannubi' 2016

Garnet red with ruby reflections. Intense bouquet with scents of rose, vanilla, licorice, spices and toasted oak. Soft notes of absinth and tobacco. Full taste and elegant, full-bodied, austere with recurring olfactory sensations. The hints of spicy and woody notes blend perfectly. Wine of great structure, well suited to main courses of red meats, braised dishes and game.

92 Points - Robert Parker's Wine Advocate     The 2016 Barolo Cannubi is characterized by chalky mineral notes that give the wine a sense of place. This wine features fruit from a southeast-facing parcel in Cannubi composed of loose, calcareous soils that tend to produce early-ripening fruit and nicely concentrated flavours. Elegant mineral tones are also part of the Cannubi package. The mouthfeel here is silky and tightly knit. Some 26,000 bottles were released.
