Elio Altare - Barolo Cannubi 2015

Elio Altare - Barolo Cannubi 2015

94/100

Robert Parker

"The first vintage of this wine was 2011. The Altare family leased a quarter hectare of this famous vineyard cru, and the contract expires (or, hopefully, will be renewed) in 2024. The 2015 Barolo Cannubi is a gorgeous wine with a real brightness and luminosity that transcends the wine's appearance, bouquet and palate. There's real lovely volume, and the wine covers the whole palate evenly and smoothly. In ascending order of intensity among Altare's Barolos, this was the penultimate wine we tasted." (Wine Advocate 2019 - Monica Larner)
