Cannubi

2006 Barolo Nebbiolo

The Giacomo Fenocchio Cannubi from the renowned Barolo region is a stunning expression of Nebbiolo, showcasing the incredible depth and character this varietal can achieve. This red wine delights the senses with a full-bodied profile, accompanied by a pronounced acidity that imparts a refreshing lift, making it irresistibly food-friendly. Expect prominent fruit intensity, with flavors of cherry and plum dancing alongside complex notes of tar and rose petals typical of the Cannubi vineyard's terroir. The tannins are notably structured, providing a robust backbone that complements the elegant fruit. As a well-crafted example of a 2006 vintage, it offers a beautiful balance between traditional winemaking and the vibrant expression of the Barolo region. The wine's dryness further enhances its appeal, making it a superb choice for pairing with rich dishes or enjoying on its own.

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.
