I had the chance to walk the Cannubi vineyard with Chiara Boschis this past fall. You really don't get a sense of how steep the inclines are and how powdery the soils are until you are there, struggling with each difficult step. She navigates the difficult terrain effortlessly. The 2019 Barolo Cannubi shows an etched or three-dimensional quality with sharp fruit flavors, blue flower and chalky stone. There were some weather extremes during the growing season, but everything balanced out in the end. Phenolic ripeness was easily achieved. Chiara Boschis describes 2019 as a cross between 2016 and 2017. In her portfolio, Via Nuova is the classic Barolo, Mosconi has the power and Cannubi shows the finesse of Nebbiolo.

The 2019 Barolo Cannubi is flat-out stunning. Rich and beautifully textured, the 2019 dazzles from start to finish. Freshly cut flowers, mint, crushed red berry fruit, orange peel, salt and dried herbs are some of the many notes that grace this exquisite, wonderfully nuanced Barolo from Chiara Boschis. Sweet floral and spice overtones build into the finish. The precision here is unreal. Aging in cask works so well here. What a wine!

A red of depth and opulence, with black cherry and blackberry fruit accented by earth, green olive tapenade, green tea and tobacco flavors. Complex, with considerable power and length, this will require a bit more time to integrate than its peers. Best from 2027 through 2046.

Ma bouteille de Barolo Cannubi 2015 a eu l'occasion de respirer toute une nuit et j'ai vraiment eu un aperçu de l'évolution que ce vin peut faire, démontrant des belles notes de menthe avec le temps au nez. Ce Barolo est plus compact que les autres au niveau de la structure et est plus simple en bouche, mais il se révèle extrêmement délicat, léger et élégant. Ce vin a un style unique, à la fois gracieux et délicat, et s'il a suffisamment de temps pour respirer, il ferait sourire tous les amoureux de Barolo.

A beam of rose, raspberry and kirsch notes highlights this aromatic, elegant red. Racy and structured, this focuses the fruit flavors, picking up leafy underbrush, mint, spice and tar elements, building to a firm finish. Best from 2022 through 2040.

A very refined yet structured Cannubi with fine tannins that spread across the palate. Medium body with lovely succulent fruit of plums, berries and cedar. Persistent finish with citrus undertones in the aftertaste. From organically grown grapes. Drink after 2027.

Ce Barolo Cannubi 2015 est soyeux, parfumé et gracieux, toutes des qualités remarquables dans ce millésime. Malgré tout, le Cannubi reste plus un soliste qu'un orchestre. Des notes florales et d'épices ajoutent une touche d'élégance à ce Barolo super expressif et nuancé de Chiara Boschis. Dans l'ensemble, toute fois, le 2015 est un peu mince et pas aussi expressif que les deux autres Barolos de la gamme. Le 2015 est âgé de 2/3 en fût et 1/3 en barrique.

Deep and seductive on the nose and palate with crushed red berries and a soft mineral base. Full-bodied with very silky tannins that are already melded into the wine. More linear, drinkable quality to this in 2018. From organically grown grapes. Compact and delicious even now, but better with another year in bottle.
