FEATURES
The 2015 Comm. G.B. Burlotto Barolo Cannubi is a powerful yet graceful expression of Nebbiolo, showcasing the depth and elegance of one of Barolo's most iconic crus. This highly regarded vintage, sourced from a historic two-acre plot in the Cannubi cru, is already drinking beautifully but possesses the structure for graceful aging. Critics note its need for time to shed "baby fat" and develop further complexity. Robert Parker describes it as a "very delicate and streamlined expression" that reveals new nuances with each nosing.
Tasting notes reveal a complex bouquet of dark cherry, plum, hard candy licorice, violet, and spice, alongside raspberry, strawberry, and floral notes with a jammy quality. Earthy undertones of leather, tar, and minerals are present, complemented by oaky hints of tobacco and vanilla. The full-bodied palate offers concentrated black fruit, a firm tannic bite, and a chewy finish, balanced by vibrant acidity and fresh, crunchy red fruit flavors of cherry, currant, and raspberry. Rose petal, orange peel, and mint enhance its bright character, while licorice and warm spice emerge with aeration.
Food pairing suggestions include roasted meats, truffle dishes, and aged cheeses. It also pairs wonderfully with beef, lamb, pasta, and game.
This Barolo is perfect for special occasions, fine dining, or a sophisticated gathering. Its impressive aging potential also makes it an excellent candidate for cellaring to enjoy its evolving complexity in the years to come. 【Depth and elegance of one of Barolo's most iconic crus】
