Elio Altare Barolo Cannubi 2022

Cannubi announces itself with authority. Dark cherry, dried violet, espresso and a dusting of clove, all drawn from one of Barolo's most storied hillsides. The texture is plush and generous without tipping into excess, there's a firm tannin structure underneath keeping everything honest, and the acidity runs clean through to a long, silky close. Altare's touch is evident: a wine of real depth and composure.
