This Barolo from the Cannubi vineyard opens with a delicate aromatic embroidery of vanilla, forest berry, cola, spice and licorice. The texture here is tight, fine and very silky and those characteristic Nebbiolo flavors last a long time on the finish. You could save this wine five to 10 more years and pair it with slow-cooked duck confit.

Mature cherry fruit with renderings of spice, clove and cigar box make up the bouquet of this elegant Barolo from the Cannubi cru (located immediately outside the town of Barolo in Piedmont). Smoky ash, sandalwood and cured beef aromas appear on the close.

Milky chocolate and creamy almond paste open the nose of this ripe and rich Barolo. Shadings of citrus, spice, plum, licorice and root beer add to the complexity. This is a pure, elegant and traditional expression of Nebbiolo that needs another five to 10 years in the cellar.

This is the kind of hearty Barolo you’ll want to pair with pork medallions with truffle sauce or grilled lamb chops. The wine delivers the natural heft and density you need to pair with those savory dishes along with bright aromas of red cherry, toasted almond and smoked ham.

Nebbiolo already makes lean and compact wines, so the generally light 2008 vintage hasn’t done much to add extra pulp or softness. This expression has a bright ruby color, with dry tannins and youthful aromas of raw berry.
