Tasting Notes
The Burlotto Barolo “Cannubi” 2016 is a transcendent expression of Nebbiolo — a wine that defines the concept of purity and finesse. It unfolds with fragrant aromas of rose petal, red cherry, raspberry, mint, and crushed herbs, layered with notes of licorice, tar, cedar, and mineral spice. On the palate, it is weightless yet intense, delivering seamless layers of ripe red fruit, blood orange, and earthy truffle, guided by silky tannins and radiant acidity. The finish is long, floral, and mesmerizingly pure — a wine that lingers both in flavor and memory.

Vintage Highlights
The 2016 vintage in Barolo is hailed as one of the most extraordinary of the century — a perfect confluence of climate, timing, and balance. The Cannubi vineyard, Barolo’s most historic cru, lies on gentle slopes of marl and sandstone that endow the wine with its signature perfume and grace. Aged for 32 months in large Slavonian oak casks, the 2016 Cannubi reveals precision, depth, and harmony that place it among the greatest Barolos ever produced.
