2011 Paolo Scavino Cannubi Barolo DOCG

The 2011 Barolo Cannubi stands out for its nuance and amplitude, both signatures that separate it from many of the other wines in this range. There is a real sense of pedigree here, but it is hard to describe with mere words, as is often the case with Grand Cru Burgundy. Beautifully resonant and expressive, the Cannubi is shaping up to be a real gem. Scavino rents a small parcel in the heart of Cannubi that may very well be one of the best sites in the family's range. A bottle of the inaugural 1985 was magic. Review Date: March 2015

A wine with lots of dark fruit and spice character. Full body, chewy tannins and long finish. Sexy and beautiful Cannubi. Needs to two or three years to soften. Review Date: April 2015
