100% Nebbiolo. Juicy cherries, ripe plums, tobacco, licorice, and cocoa, accented by delicate herbal undertones. Broad and full-bodied, dry yet delightfully soft, with silky tannins and a persistent, luxurious finish.

A polished wine with charming layers of fruit and complexity. The enchanting aromas of red cherry, rambutan, strawberry, and rose develop and open into a deeply flavoured palate. A velvety wrap of tannins surrounds the dark plums and morello cherry and a light dusting of vanilla. ~97 Decanter

The 2018 Barolo Cannubi is a bright and lively expression with wild fruit and cassis over a tight and elegant mouthfeel. This is a wine of texture and persistence, and you feel its silky effects on the palate for many minutes. It spreads wide and deep, revealing savory flavors of spice, licorice and a metallic touch of iron. The alcohol content is a bit much at 15%, but there is enough texture here to soften its effects. Some 40,000 bottles were released (and the glass weight used on this wine and the other cru selections is on the heavy side). ~94 Wine Advocate

A nice balance of ripe berries and almost plummy fruit on the nose, following through to a medium-to full-bodied palate, where more savory notes of fresh nuts and ferns really get going, adding complexity and interest. The fine-grained tannins give good support. Like the intensity and balance here. Try from 2024. ~94 James Suckling

Bright garnet red with ruby ​​red reflections. Intense on the nose of ripe plums and rich wild berries, with a hint of leathery and undergrowth in the aftertaste. Fresh and juicy on the palate, with lots of ripe tannin, spreads beautifully and smoothly over the tongue, with a lot of pull in the finish. ~94 Falstaff

Mature and with a bohemian character, it shows a delicate and sensual profile reminiscent of withered rose petals, orange blossoms, chamomile, mature cheese and coffee powder. In the background the shade of lemongrass dominates the secondary scene. Full body, perfectly polymerized tannins and an iconic finish that stands out for its gracefulness and juiciness. Drink now or grow old. ~94 WinesCritic.com

A supple red, with pure rose and cherry themes supported by vibrant acidity and refined tannins. Balanced and refreshing, with accents of mint, pine and mineral that linger. ~93 Wine Spectator
