🏰 【From Cannubi, Italy's most celebrated and historically oldest cru, Luigi Einaudi's Barolo Cannubi 2018 is a wine of great class, offering an effortless and gracious quality with expressive aromatics.】 The 2018 vintage, characterized by a long, cool growing season, produced a Barolo with a lighter structure than previous years but excellent focus and drive. Expect a bright garnet red color, with enticing aromas of fresh berry and citrus notes, pressed rose, woodland berry, and botanical herbs, complemented by hints of spice, licorice, and baking spice. The full-bodied palate boasts a weightless finesse, featuring juicy red cherry, raspberry compote, and blood orange, framed by polished, silky tannins and fresh acidity leading to a white almond finish. 🍴 This elegant Barolo is a superb match for rich, savory dishes. Think traditional Piedmontese cuisine like truffle pasta, slow-cooked beef (brasato al Barolo), roasted game, or hearty mushroom dishes. It also pairs beautifully with aged hard cheeses such as Parmigiano-Reggiano or Pecorino. 🥂 An excellent choice for a sophisticated dinner, a special celebration, or a serious wine tasting. This Barolo is currently quite closed and needs time to mature, with recommendations to try from 2024 onwards to allow its full potential to unfold.
