Tasting Notes

First vintage of Cannubi for us was 2011. After years and years of research we were lucky enough to have access to a small plot of a quarter of a hectare/2.500 m. Cannubi is the most emblematic single vineyards of the Barolo region, historically probably the oldest ever known, mentioned in some documents from the 1600’s. 2016 has richness but still an elegant texture, with cherry menthol and liquorice. - Silvia Altare

Arguably Italy’s most important fine wine region, Piedmont is synonymous with Nebbiolo, Barolo, and Barbaresco. It’s also home to a wide array of other compelling reds and whites that range from the austere to the juicy and joyful.


LOCATION:
Northwest Italy, bordering France and Switzerland, with the Alps to the north and the Apennines to the south.


TERROIR:
Rolling hills and foggy mornings define Langhe and Roero. Soils are mostly calcareous marl with sandy or clay-rich layers depending on the site. Continental climate with cold winters and warm summers.


VARIETIES:
Nebbiolo is king, producing powerful, tannic reds. Barbera and Dolcetto round out the red trio. For whites, look to Arneis, Cortese (Gavi), and Timorasso. Moscato is important in the Asti area.
