Medium-bodied with fine tannins that spread across the palate, giving this impressive focus and texture as you taste it. Like a real Cannubi, it's very elegant and approachable, but you know it's for the long term. Better in 2024 and onwards."
(6/17/2021) "Sadly after this vintage, we only have one more. This Cannubi will no longer be produced after 2018. Enjoying it while we can, the Paolo Scavino 2017 Barolo Cannubi is fragrant and rich, showing a gorgeous level of aromatic purity and intensity that could not have been easy to achieve in the very hot vintage. Tones of wild cherry, blackberry, spice and sweet earth rise from the bouquet with prominence. This is a lovely wine that defies most everything we know about 2017. Drink 2024 - 2045."
(2/2021) "The 2017 Barolo Cannubi is bright, effusive and punchy. It is also quite nervous at this stage. That won't be an issue in a few years' time, but readers should be prepared to be patient. Dark cherry, lavender, mint, cinnamon and star anise add lovely aromatic presence to this classy, mid-weight Barolo. Drink 2025 - 2037."
