From a warmer vintage and a shorter growing season, the 2011 Barolo Cannubi is, indeed, a more compact and succulent expression of Nebbiolo. This native grape of Piedmont likes the slow, longer seasons best, and wines made in vintages like 2011 stand out for their accessibility and fruit-driven exuberance. The bouquet here awards bright cherry and blackberry with leather and spice. This wine is best for near and medium-term drinking.
