About Marchesi di Barolo Barolo Cannubi DOCG 750mL
The Marchesi di Barolo Cannubi opens with a hauntingly complex bouquet that speaks to one of Piedmont's most celebrated single vineyards. On the nose, dried rose petals and wild cherry give way to earthy truffle, dried tobacco leaf, and a whisper of tar — the unmistakable signature of aged Nebbiolo from the Cannubi cru. On the palate, this wine is structured yet graceful, with silky but firm tannins that frame flavors of sour cherry, pomegranate, and dried plum, layered with iron-rich minerality, leather, and a hint of vanilla from careful oak aging. The finish is extraordinarily long, with a lingering echo of licorice, dried herbs, and iron that fades slowly and memorably.
