Barolo Cannubi 2021

Marchesi di Barolo (hentet 19. okt. 2026): Organoleptic characteristics: The color is deep ruby red with characteristic garnet reflections. On the nose the bouquet is balsamic, with notes of small dehydrated red fruits, wild rose and spices that are linked to a fan-shaped finish between cocoa bean and vanilla. The taste is full, with a silky and enveloping tannin; the notable and elegant body leads to a long spicy finish that makes this a great Barolo. Production area: Cannubi is the prestigious long and gradually rising hill located in the center of the Barolo denomination. The soils, from the Serravallian and Tortonian periods, are predominantly clayey- limestone, characterized by the conspicuous presence of Sant'Agata marl. These particular soils give the wine unique characteristics in terms of structure, finesse, elegance and longevity. Winemaking: The grapes are rigorously harvested by hand and a selection of the best bunches is made already in the vineyard. Once it arrives in the cellar, it is selectively destemmed and delicately pressed. Alcoholic fermentation takes place at a controlled temperature: a range of 24-26°C is maintained to preserve all the aromatic potential characteristic of the specific terroir. Through repeated delestage and pumping over, we proceed with a maceration of 15-18 days aimed at the gradual and maximum extraction of the noble polyphenolic part of the skins. Aging: After racking, the wine begins a period of clarification and rest in vitrified concrete tanks, before continuing maturation in wood. The evolution lasts about two years. During the first year the wine matures in small French oak barrels, with the aim of fixing the color and increasing the aging potential; the percentage of new woods is perfectly balanced to maintain the identifying characteristics of this Cru unchanged. The second year the wine ages in large Slavonian oak barrels in which the characteristics of finesse and elegance are enhanced. The complete expression of the wine is obtained after a period of at least 1 year of rest in the bottle.
