Comm G.B. Burlotto - Barolo Cannubi 2013

Continue Shopping Add to Wish List

Burlotto’s 2013 Barolo Cannubi is a showstopper. Literally. Conversation stops as attendees taste the 2013. This is what top-flight Barolo is all about. In 2013, the Monvigliero has gotten most of the attention, and for good reason. It is a truly monumental wine. But the Cannubi is not that far behind. On this night, it is positively dazzling and every bit as profound as it has always been. The Cannubi has really soared in recent years as proprietor Fabio Alessandria has brought it inline stylistically with his other wines. 

The 2013 Barolo “Cannubi” from the Commendatore G. B. Burlotto is a bit more black fruity in profile than the Monvigliero, but every bit as refined and seamless. The bouquet is marvelous in its refined blend of black cherries, licorice, complex soil tones, hints of the beef bouillon to come, camphor, a touch of celery seed, fresh oregano, gentle smokiness and an exotic topnote of cola. On the palate the wine is deep, full-bodied, refined and rock solid at the core, with a great signature of soil, ripe, seamless tannins, tangy acids and stunning length and grip on the perfectly balanced finish. I kept thinking as I tasted this wine that this is how Bartolo Mascarello’s 1982 must have smelt when it was first released! Stunning juice.
