Tasting note
Colour & Appearance
A classic, medium-transparent garnet red presents itself in the glass.
Nose
This wine fascinates with an intellectual interplay of pure sensuality and firm structure. The aromatic spectrum reveals cool, almost metallic nuances of iron and blood, paired with ripe plums, dark cherries and a touch of marzipan. Ethereal accents of mint, eucalyptus and dried, candied lavender weave elegantly through the red berry fruit.
Palate
On the palate, the wine presents itself as a majestically flowing stream. The ripe, warm fruit is carried by impeccably silky tannins and a vibrant, crystal-clear acidity. Alongside blue berry notes, subtle hints of iron, fine wood and damp earth emerge once again. An aristocratic monument of sheer balance.
Terroir & Origin
The grapes originate from the legendary heart of the single vineyard site Cannubi in the commune of Barolo. On a tiny parcel of just 0.7 hectares (planted in 1982), a distinctive sand content in the soil combined with a perfect south-facing exposure ensures an exceptional balance and aromatic density of the Nebbiolo.
Grape Variety & Vinification
Single-varietal Nebbiolo of the Michet and Lampia clones. Following selective harvesting in early October, fermentation took place in rotary fermenters with pump-overs twice a day, followed by a 14-day maceration on the skins. Malolactic fermentation was carried out in stainless steel tanks, followed by two years of ageing in French oak casks and barriques.
Food Pairings
This noble Piedmontese wine demands classic, sophisticated cuisine. It shines alongside braised sweetbreads, a classic fillet of beef with truffle jus or intensely aromatic game dishes such as saddle of venison with cranberries.
Special Features
The estate has been certified organic since 2014. Chiara Boschis, the legendary pioneer among the “Barolo Boys”, has created a monument with this wine that unites the historical power of Cannubi with a modern, early accessible elegance. A diplomatic and oenological masterpiece from a great vintage.
