Barolo Cannubi Riserva

1971 Barolo Nebbiolo

The Borgogno Barolo Cannubi Riserva from the iconic 1971 vintage is a captivating expression of Nebbiolo hailing from the prestigious Barolo region. This enchanting red wine showcases a medium-bodied character that perfectly marries complexity and elegance. With its bright acidity, it invigorates the palate while enhancing the wine's profound depth. The tannins are notably firm and structured, providing a robust backbone that promises longevity and evolution over time. A bouquet of dried roses, tar, and black cherry leads to an intense fruit profile, with rich flavors that reflect the wine's aging potential. Its dryness complements the wine's intricate layers, making it a compelling choice for those who appreciate the timeless sophistication of Barolo.

While France takes the crown for the most famous wines styles and grape varieties, Italy is where wine was first perfected. The ancient Greeks called it Oenotria—"land of the vines"—and the Roman Empire advanced grape growing and winemaking to a level of quality we still enjoy today. But behind Italy's best-known wines, such as Chianti, Barolo and prosecco, there's an almost endless diversity of delights awaiting the intrepid explorer. The key to understanding Italian wine is regionality and (of course) food. From the aromatic and sparkling whites of the north to Sicily's rich and spicy reds, Italy offers wine lovers a lifetime of gastronomic treats.
