Cannubi in great form here. Plenty of fragrance, as well as aromas and flavors of spice-coated red cherries with oak adding further interest. The palate has a supple, suave feel to it. Really cruises smoothly into the finish.

This is one of three single-vineyard expressions from Marchesi di Barolo. The 2014 Barolo Cannubi shows rich and dark color saturation with pretty ruby highlights. That color comes from the well-draining soils of Cannubi that help to concentrate the wine's elegant appearance, aromas and flavors. There is balance and harmony in this vintage, especially where those bright berry aromas are concerned, and the mouthfeel is polished and compact.
