Comm. G.B. Burlotto Barolo Cannubi 2019 750ml

Fabio Alessandria’s family purchased land in Cannubi in 1982, the same year they started production of the Barolo Monvigliero. The property measures 0.7 hectares. The Comm. G.B. Burlotto 2019 Barolo Cannubi shows elegance and power with a lifted layer of fruity intensity that recalls dark cherry, cassis, iris root, violet, white licorice and crushed stone. Cannubi is known for elegance and the depth of its aromas, and this balanced vintage delivers on those fronts.

Varietal

Nebbiolo

The Nebbiolo grape varietal is widely understood to be the fruit responsible for Italy’s finest aged wines. However, its popularity and reliability as a grape which gives out outstanding flavors and aromas has led it to be planted in many countries around the world, with much success. These purple grapes are distinguishable by the fact that they take on a milky dust as they begin to reach maturity, leading many to claim that this is the reason for their unusual name, which means ‘fog’ in Italian. Nebbiolo grapes produce wines which have a wide range of beautiful and fascinating flavors, the most common of which are rich, dark and complex, such as violet, truffle, tobacco and prunes. They are generally aged for many years to balance out their characteristics, as their natural tannin levels tend to be very high.
