Critics Ratings

‘The 2000 Barolo Cannubi is so fresh and primary it would be virtually impossible to peg in a blind tasting as a 2000. Layers of jammy dark fruit flow from this intense, rich Barolo. The house style speaks more loudly than vineyard character in 2000, but the wine makes up for that with its superb length and harmony. Anticipated maturity: 2015-2030.’ - Antonio Galloni, Wine Advocate, 96/100

‘Good full red. Knockout nose combines red cherry, rose petal, cinnamon, sage and minerals. At once opulent and juicy, with compelling spice and balsamic notes to the wine's sweet raspberry fruit. Wonderfully sweet and precise wine, silkier than the Monvigliero but also showing outstanding grip and lift. In comparison, the 2007 is as long but a bit more gamey.’ - Stephen Tanzer, Vinous, 95/100 (Nov 2011)

‘There's a sense of elegance here, a perfect foil for the floral, cherry, strawberry and underbrush aromas and flavors. Possesses a firm, sinewy structure, which will allow this to develop over the next 10 to 20 years. Best from 2016 through 2034.’ - Bruce Sanderson, Wine Spectator, 93/100

‘Maturing mid ruby with broad orange rim. Sweet, savoury cherry with a hint of mulch. A touch of nuttiness on the nose too. Lovely, supple fruit that is richly tannic and quite concentrated on the finish. Not ready by far.’ - Walter Speller, JancisRobinson.com, 17/20 (March 2016)
