In the glass
Colour
Brilliant, dark cherry red with a dense core and delicate violet reflections.
Nose
Profound and complex with sour cherry, blackberry and rosehip, underpinned by fine spice notes such as tobacco, pepper, ethereal herbs and woody notes of pine and cypress.
Palate
Sublime and silky-smooth on the palate with fine-grained, perfectly structured tannin, delicate acidity, mineral depth and an elegant, lingering finish with hints of cocoa.
Character
A proud, monumental "sleeping giant" of enormous depth and aristocratic structure that benefits from air and time to mature.
Pairing
Perfect with venison roast under a nut crust with bread dumplings, grilled tomahawk steak or a fine lentil stew with foie gras.
Notes
From a strictly limited harvest (only 340 magnums) of the legendary Cannubi vineyard site, certified organically farmed since 2014, masterfully vinified by Barolo pioneer Chiara Boschis.
Tasting note
Colour & Appearance
Brilliant, deep cherry red with a dense core and delicate, violet reflections.
Nose
A sleeping giant that requires air and time in a large glass. Subtle and profound, cool notes of sour cherry, blackberry and rosehip unfold gracefully. With more oxygen, a noble spice emerges of cigar box, light tobacco and mixed pepper, embedded in a complex, ethereal tapestry of sage, thyme and fresh pine needles.
Palate
On the palate, a monument of aristocratic elegance presents itself. The silky, crisp fruit flows precisely across the tongue, perfectly balanced by fine-grained, subtle acidity. The fine-grained tannin is masterfully polished, clothing the mouth completely and lending the wine a grandiose structure and depth, without ever appearing heavy.
Finish
Seemingly endless, linear and gripping with minerality. The balsamic nuances resonate for minutes and leave behind in the finale a delicate, elegant hint of cocoa.
Terroir & Origin
From the legendary top vineyard site Cannubi in the heart of Barolo. Chiara Boschis owns merely 0.7 hectares here on limestone-rich Tertiary soils. The vines stand at 300 metres elevation in perfect south-southwest exposure. Since 2014, the estate has been organically certified.
Grape Variety & Vinification
100% Nebbiolo. Following temperature-controlled fermentation in stainless steel tanks, the wine matures in lightly toasted French barriques (approximately 30% new wood). The extremely yield-reduced 2020 vintage produced highly concentrated fruit. Of this exclusive magnum, merely 340 bottles were bottled.
Food Pairing Suggestions
A brilliant companion to venison roast with nut crust, bread dumplings and lingonberries, grilled tomahawk steak with Romanesco or a refined grey lentil stew with foie gras and hazelnuts.
Special Features
Chiara Boschis, the legendary “Grande Dame” and sole woman of the revolutionary Barolo Boys, has vinified a masterpiece with this wine. The monumental ageing potential of this rare Cannubi unfolds in the magnum bottle to absolute perfection.
