Wow. This is real Cannubi, offering sliced ripe strawberries and dried flowers, such as roses, as well as crushed raspberries. It’s full-bodied, yet very tight and reserved. Stealth is a word that comes to mind. Love it. Best in a long time. Drinkable now, but better after 2023.

A ripe, layered Barolo with lots of dried strawberry, blueberry and floral aromas and flavors. It’s a rather more flamboyant red for this producer. Drinkable now, but better after 2023.

A linear, fresher style of barbera with crushed-berry and orange-peel character. Medium body. Fruity finish. Bright and leaner style, but delicious. Drink now.

A Barolo with such intense, fine-grained tannins, yet it’s so deep and poised with polish and energy. Full-bodied, yet it remains agile and layered. Strawberries, bark, hazelnuts and hints of rose petals. Give this four or five years in the bottle, at least. But a classic wine.

A together Barolo with a full body, tight and refined tannins and long, flavorful finish. Intense and polished. Strawberry, walnut and hazelnut character. Needs time to come around. Try after 2023.

A rich, flavorful dolcetto with ripe-cherry and orange-peel aromas and flavors. Medium body. Light, polished tannins give the wine a creamy texture. Drink now.

A firm, silky nebbiolo with strawberries, light toffee and bark. It’s medium-bodied with pretty fruit and a linear, flavorful finish. Drink now.

A soft-textured white with dried mango and apple character and hints of cider. It’s tangy and edgy on the palate with a fruity finish. Bitter lemon in the after taste. Fun and different. 100% erbaluce. Drink now.

This is really showing beautifully now with age. Hazelnuts and dried flowers bolster the ripe fruit and spice. It’s full-bodied with round tannins and a fresh finish. Drink and enjoy.
