2022 Barolo Cannubi – Francesco Rinaldi

Product Info

The 2022 Barolo Cannubi from Francesco Rinaldi & Figli is grown in Cannubi, widely regarded as the greatest vineyard in the village of Barolo. The wine blends two parcels, Cannubi Boschis (planted between 1967 and 1990) and a young Cannubi plot (planted in 2016), on sandy soils of Tortonian and Helvetian origin that give it a notable perfume. After 25 to 30 days of fermentation, it ages for at least three years in large Slavonian oak. Less powerful than Brunate, but deep, refined and built for the long term.
