Cannubi

2011 Barolo Nebbiolo

The Giacomo Fenocchio Cannubi from the revered Barolo region boasts an exquisite expression of Nebbiolo, showcasing a deep red hue that entices the eye. This vintage, crafted in 2011, reveals a full-bodied character that harmonizes beautifully with high acidity, providing a vibrant backbone to the wine. The fruit intensity is pronounced, offering lush notes of dark cherries, raspberries, and subtle undertones of floral elements, complemented by hints of earthiness and spice. Tannins are notably structured, giving the wine a firm yet elegant mouthfeel, making it a delight to savor. This Cannubi is firmly dry, embodying the classic style of Barolo that lends itself wonderfully to aging, allowing the complexity to develop further with time.

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.
