Barolo Cannubi GB Burlotto 2016 is a single-vineyard Nebbiolo from the renowned Cannubi cru of Barolo, Piedmont. The Cannubi vineyard, with its south-facing slopes, promotes optimal ripening and flavour development. This wine reflects the cru`s unique terroir with aromas of dried cherry, plum and subtle floral notes. The tannins, marked by a delicate chalkiness, integrate with a persistent finish. Fermentation occurs in open oak casks and the wine matures in large oak botti. Founded in 1850, GB Burlotto was a pioneer in Barolo production, contributing to its modern reputation.

Vinous
A breathtaking, positively riveting wine, the 2016 Barolo Cannubi brings together all the elements of the Burlotto house style. Rich, ample and deep with stunning intensity, the 2016 has so much to offer. All the elements are wonderfully fused together. The 2016 is a Cannubi of uncommon depth, but also has a certain darkness that gives it a feeling of great power and intensity. Bright saline notes add to its explosive energy. Fabio Alessandria vinified the Cannubi with manual pumpovers and punchdpowns, after which the wine spent a total of three weeks on the skins. The 2016 is a total turn-on - that's pretty much all there is to it. Antonio Galloni1st February 2020
