Burlotto, Barolo Cannubi other_regions Lurid ruby

Lurid ruby

spice and a very linear mineral tone at the back

finely tuned acidity and gentle grip toward the long

Here the unusually expressive nose is more floral in character with ample spice elements on the earthy dark berry and Asian tea-suffused aromas

but offers more of a whimper in terms of mouthfeel

Burlotto, Barolo Cannubi other_regions Lurid rubyThis 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.
