Barolo Cannubi DOCG 2017 (BIO)

E. Pira & Figli / Chiara Boschis | Piedmont
Az. Agr. E. Pira & Figli Chiara Boschis | Via Vittorio Veneto 1 | IT 12060 Barolo

Cannubi is the most filigree, almost feminine Barolo in the exceptional line-up of Chiara Boschi's noble wines. Silky, fragrant and full of grace, it unfolds its bouquet of roses, spices, undergrowth and wild cherries. When drunk, it is racy, elegant and delicate with a fine sweetness and depth. If you give it the necessary time and air, you will discover more facets and a harmony with every sip that will put a satisfied smile on the face of even die-hard Barolo connoisseurs. SUPERIORE.DE

"Intense, sparkling ruby garnet. Very fragrant and appealing nose, intense of dark wild raspberries, sweet roses and some pickled cherries, multilayered and promising. Also shows lots of dark fruit on the palate, opens with hearty, deep tannin, all wrapped in sweet melting, round and smooth, rich pressure on the final." Falstaff

"Floral, juniper, strawberry, cherry and green tea aromas and flavors are the hallmarks of this taut, sleek red, which is firm too, yet the core of ripe fruit prevails midpalate and should serve this well over time." Wine Spectator

"Chiara Boschis is a historic proponent of organic farming, and she lobbied to make the entire Cannubi cru a certified organic vineyard. Her 2017 Barolo Cannubi shows terrific balance and clean intensity in a vintage that presented quite a few challenges across the appellation due to the heat and drought, along with other issues such as an unexpected frost in April, but that caused the biggest damage to the lowest elevations. The Cannubi is less overtly fruity than the blended Via Nuova or the Mosconi. Instead, it has a more prominent saline imprint with mineral and crushed limestone. However, the quality of the tannins in this release is superior and silkier, and that added structure and focus give the Cannubi the longest drinking window in my opinion of these three new releases. 4,000 bottles were produced." Robert Parker

"The Barolo Cannubi is absolutely gorgeous in 2017. Hot and brutally dry conditions notwithstanding, the Cannubi is creamy and sensual in the glass, with impeccable balance, soft, racy edges and tons of allure. It is easily one of the most sensual, compelling Barolos of the year. Ripe dark red/purplish fruit, spice, mint and cedar meld into the beautifully textured, resonant finish. I am so impressed with the wine's freshness. Perhaps the anti-hail netting helped keep some shade on the fruit. What a wine." Vinous

"Plums and ripe strawberries with some crushed-stone undertones. Full-bodied and layered with round, rich tannins and an intensely fruity finish. But then, some fine tannins that are cashmere-like." James Suckling
