Cannubi is one of Barolo’s most celebrated vineyards, renowned for wines that unite depth with finesse. Michele Chiarlo has owned its parcel in the historic heart of the cru since 1989. Spanning approximately one hectare, its steep, terraced slopes and sandy calcareous marl soils provide a distinctive setting for Nebbiolo, yielding a wine with both richness and refinement.
The 2020 vintage saw spring rains replenish water reserves, followed by favourable late-season conditions. Sunny days, cool nights and a mild, dry September encouraged steady ripening, while careful crop thinning concentrated the vineyard’s efforts into high-quality fruit. Maturation for two years in oak casks, followed by bottle refinement, brings polish to the wine’s substantial structure.
An inviting bouquet of ripe plum and red berries unfolds with liquorice, sweet tobacco and subtle spice. The palate is generous yet firmly structured, combining succulent fruit with finely textured tannins and a persistent finish. Its depth makes it a rewarding partner for roast meats, game, truffle tagliolini and mature cheeses—a Barolo to savour over a leisurely dinner.
