Barolo Cannubi 2016 Magnum

Clear, rich ruby with light garnet shimmer. Complex aroma with a fine interplay between spices and fruit, of coriander seeds and discreet vanilla on the one hand and ripe cherries on the other. Blossoms on the palate with vibrant cherry fruit, holds up to the very well integrated vanilla spices. Dense tannins, salty on the finish. A wine full of drive and potential.

This Moravian-owned resort also farms 9ha, recent additions being some prestigious single vineyards. This wine is a blend from four communes, fermented with natural yeasts and aged in casks and a small proportion of barriques. There's coffee on the nose as well as red fruits. The attack is supple but concentrated, and there is no excessive extraction. Freshness and limpidity lead to a long, stylish finish.
