The 2008 vintage has aged gracefully here, and this Cannubi S. Lorenzo-Ravera is proof. Linear and tightly focused, it carries the austerity of the year with quiet authority, dried rose, iron, tart cherry and a trace of tar. Firm tannins and bright acidity hold everything in precise alignment. If anything, it reads a touch more reserved than the Brunate, but that restraint gives it a classic Barolo bearing that's hard to argue with. Drinking beautifully now, with plenty of life ahead.

Barolo purist in Barolo's most traditionalist mold. Rinaldi farms Brunate and Bussia alongside declassified Langhe bottlings, working with long macerations, large old oak, and minimal intervention.
