Why We're Buying

G.B. Burlotto produces four cru-caliber wines, including Barolo Cannubi. It's sourced entirely from the Cannubi vineyard, contributing to a deep intensity and a wonderful fusion of flavors and aromas. Multiple critics gave the 2016 vintage perfect scores, with Monica Larner saying, "This is one of the most beautiful wines to emerge from Italy in the last decade, and tragically only 4,000 bottles were made."

Vinous

The 2015 Barolo Cannubi is another dizzying wine from Burlotto. A rush of dark cherry, plum, hard candy licorice, violet and spice all hit the palate. Powerful and vertical in the glass, the Cannubi simply has it all. I would give the 2015 a good bit of time to shed some of its considerable baby fat. Powerful, dense and packed, the Cannubi is not as showy or seductive as the Monvigliero, but it has so much to offer, especially with a bit of bottle age. What a magnificent wine it is! (AG)
