Burlotto, Barolo Cannubi other_regions Firm reduction overshadows the fruit

Firm reduction overshadows the fruit at present

but offers more of a whimper in terms of mouthfeel

finely tuned acidity and gentle grip toward the long

offering impressively concentrated and sharply delineated flavors of sappy red fruits

Burlotto, Barolo Cannubi other_regions Firm reduction overshadows the fruitThis historic estate based in Verduno is renowned for its Monvigliero bottling, but in 2015 its Cannubi from the village of Barolo seems even finer. The nose is sweet, floral and lifted, with no trace of overripeness. Initially sleek, the palate grows in austerity, which is often a characteristic of this wine. But this grip and structure are welcome and don't dominate the spiciness and persistence of the fruit. Very long.
